The kids now are more productive than we ever were; they're a lot more prolific and productive in the sense that they have to have music out all the time.
Brother AliI'm albino, my family is white, but I was really raised, and taught my important life lessons, by the black community.
Brother AliI've always loved independent music stores because the staff is usually there because of a genuine love and appreciation for music. They're more in-tune with the customers and I'm willing to pay the extra dollar or two for the service they provide. Some of my greatest music discoveries have come from picking up an album at an indy store and the cat behind the register saying "You like this man? Have you heard of so-and-so?" I prefer to shop where people understand me and the music- the music i like.
