Second City

Has anyone else seen this? Not only was it my idea (and horribly done) in the first place, but they criminally left all Philadelphia record stores off the list. WTF, yo!

Unfortunately, Philly seems to be the city easily overshadowed by multiple other “more important” cities around it by sloppy and boring writers across America. And mostly for the unimpressive DC, pretentious New York, and white Boston. Blah. But they pad the list with the Princeton Record Exchange (a good store, sure) and some other boring Jersey store in this thing! MF’ers we had the Declaration of Independence written here! We never even considered selling out!

I mean, goddamn. Where’s Philadelphia Record Exchange – one of the best vinyl stores I’ve ever seen? Spaceboy – a solid indie of all varieties spot? Relapse Records – unreal metal selection? AKA Music – a real nice spot with that you could spend hours in and find decently communicative workers?

It’s a repeat pattern and this city’s sick of it. You call it the sixth borough again and I will see to it that all the Delfonics, Todd Rundgren, Man Man, Jack Rose, and, uh, Hall & Oates records go outta print for good. Jerks.
