Have you ever read one of those pieces that just made you say "ugh" over and over while reading it, even while you agreed with a few of the points within? Sam Machkovech's piece on the current role of the record store gave me that exasperating feeling, thanks to his trotting out a few hoary clichés (record store clerks are snooty!) while making a few decent points (most of which regard the indie-NPR bent of many of this country's remaining record stores).
