We didn't have much in the way of independent record stores, but the corporate ones at the mall actually had halfway decent indie/import sections. I used to just tape stuff off the air back then. I has so many great mixed tapes that were just pulled straight off the air from that station. It was a great time to discover music, and if that's what this blog is going to be about, I'm all over it!
