Where did Mom and Pop Record Stores go? – NYTimes

You’ll still have a hard time finding vinyl 45s or their modern counterpart, CD singles, in record stores. For that matter, you’ll have a tough time finding record stores. Today’s single is an individual track downloaded online from legal sites like iTunes or eMusic, or the multiple illegal sites that cater to less scrupulous music lovers. The album, or collection of songs — the de facto way to buy pop music for the last 40 years — is suddenly looking old-fashioned. And the record store itself is going the way of the shoehorn.

The First Sega Saturn game arrives on GameTap – GameDaily XL

The first Saturn game to make its debut on the service is Bug!, a platformer that came out originally during the Sega Saturn’s three-month launch period over summer 1995. The game has you playing a bug character walking up and down 3-D platformers, picking up items and avoiding other bug-gy enemies. While not as well-received as Sega’s other platformer, Clockwork Knight, the game still got some modest attention- and makes for a fine start to Sega Saturn’s debut on the GameTap service.

Greatest Comic Book Buy Part 2 – Mile High Comics

Aside from the significant financial effect the discovery of this larger collection had on the future of Mile High Comics, I think the story of the purchase of this collection is historically quite interesting

Greatest Comic Book Buy Ever Part 1 – Mile High Comics

Twenty-five years ago this week (mid-January 1977), my future wife, Nanette, took a phone call in our Boulder, Colorado Mile High Comics store. The call was from a friend of ours, who was a clerk at a Science Fiction bookstore down the street. Nanette had worked at this bookstore until she came to work at Mile High Comics. This bookstore was also the original home of the first Mile High Comics store, as I had rented their back room for two years. This friend gave her the phone number of a Realtor who had called the bookstore looking to unload a “large” batch of old comics.
