My name is Paulo Leite, and music is a fundamental part of my life. I started buying music records when I was a kid, and never stopped. As my collection grows, I visit record shops everywhere - and I have lots of fun celebrating Music.
Why am I making these videos? Because I hate to see record shops die. Streaming is NOT music. Streaming is just background noise. Buy CDs. Buy vinyl. Buy whatever physical format you like. Buy music. Buy movies. Buy books. Our culture is our biggest asset. It's not free. There is no feeling like sitting down in order to enjoy a music record by your favourite Artist, holding it on your hand, appreciating its artwork, reading liner notes, putting the record on the player, and pressing the Play button.

Holy crap! I used to have that Haunted House sound effects record at 4:06! We used to use that all the time when setting up haunted houses over Halloween! Those Fresh Aire albums are really cool. I have that Fresh Aire III album seen at 13:01 on cassette. Would not mind getting it on CD. As for the 45s, I've had plenty of 45s as a kid. Especially when we could get those for 75 cents or less at the time (sometimes the record store would have them on sale, such as 3 for $1), compared to $10+ for a full album. As a kid with not a lot of money, would get the songs I like on 45 (and ask for the album for Christmas). I am going to be in Atlanta, GA for the entire first week of September. If time allows, I may have to go check that out. Looks like I can easily take the bus to get over there from Midtown. However, at ProgPower USA, which is why I am going to be in Atlanta, there is usually a pretty extensive vendor/mech area where I can buy a ton of CDs and records in the genre I am really interested in - power and progressive heavy metal. Still, would be cool to check out some record stores if have a chance. Don't have any decent ones where I currently live, especially ever since Blue Dog Records that was downtown closed up shop.
