Indie music stores band together, share ideas, encourage travel
Posted by Vinyl Fever on Thu, May 7, 2009 at 5:48 PM
Vinyl Fever is part of a coalition of about 30 other stores like ours around the country. It has improved the kind of attention we get from record labels (like getting all the free samplers and 7"ers we get on such a regular basis, and having more access to bands for in-stores). The best part of it is that we share ideas amongst ourselves without concern about sharing secrets, like there would be if we were competitors. With all the hoopla that has taken place in the music industry the past 10 years, it has been quite a saving grace and we’ve made some great friends with some of the best damn record stores in the U.S.
What I most love about this alliance is when the conversations and ideas go beyond music industry junk and into a more universal realm.
We were just notified that Good Records is now following us on twitter and, like a “Good” friend (hardy-har-har), immediately checked their account. Their latest tweet was a great example of a simple idea of benefit to anyone shopping or working any kind of retail these days- “hand sanitizer available at both registers for your hand sanitizing needs : )”. Five minutes later Vinyl Fever could boast the same thing. Hey, we need all the help we can get these days.
Need a Vinyl Fever-like store to visit on your travels? Try these, and tell ‘em we sent you!

Thanks for sharing this list. Indie stores could very well be the saving grace of the independent musician in this crappy music industry.
