Research CONT.

Potential Title: Be More Indie
Four record shops I will concentrate on, each with own module:

Sound Garden - called, redirected toward Adrian
True Vine - in-store interview set for 3/9 with owner Ian Nagoski
Normal's - call back tomorrow or Saturday
Record & Tape Traders - sent emails, waiting for response
- R&TT bought out by Value Music Concepts

Potential Modules - Reptilian Records: Blog, Label and Record Shop

Other interviews:
London Scalise (music fan, mild vinyl collector)
Music Fan 2 (Find someone with LARGE vinyl collection) MICA art students?
City Paper employee(2) (for "professional" opinion on inner workings of Baltimore indie)
*Update: Al Shipley @ City Paper - Also runs Government Names (contacted)
Venue owner - Craig from Ottobar? 8 x 10/Lofi Social Club (for "professional" opinion on inner workings of Baltimore indie)
Matt Davis from 98 Rock - Spokesperson on local music in Baltimore.

Topic of conversation:
Is vinyl making a comeback? (NPR Audio) (Article 2)
Making Room For Analog in a Digital World (NPR Audio)
