How Many Record Stores Do You Think Exist in the Dallas-Fort Worth Region? Really. Guess.

• Alright, Pete, I'm not a statistician, but this is just bad alphabet on your part. I spent about 30 minutes researching this list. I have to admit, I had my doubts. They were confirmed. On this point I may have made some sort of mistake. No idea what that would have been, but I'll just assume that since you get paid for this that I misinterpreted. It appears from your article that the "well over 75" list does not include best buy. Although the list seems to have "Best Buy Regional Office" in the #2 spot (alphabetical list). Also, I personally (again, I'm no meteorologist) consider Fry's Electronics well within the boundaries of "the likes of Best Buy, Target, and Wal-Mart". Anyways, not a big deal, could be my mistake. There are a couple other minor details I noticed as well. Though I must say, I don't get paid for this, I cook food. Therefore, I probably missed a few others. This is what I found: Borders is listed twice Heritage Auction once Family Christian, seven times Mardel Christian, 12 times Fry's Electronics, twice Best Buy once Pipe Dream once Now, you could say that multiple locations under one name still count as separate record stores. I wouldn't argue that. What I would argue is that I imagine records, or CDs rather(!), make up a very small portion of these stores profits. That's 26 stores on a list of 84. At least that's my count. I must admit I did get pretty tired after I hit the 75 mark, but I trucked on, by god I trucked on. And, I may have counted all of them. After that I found a couple other issues. Kontagiouz Soundz' website is dead. Their myspace was last updated August 2010. Nocturnal seems to be some sort of festival. I got tired after a couple clicks. Remix Dallas used to have a website apparently, it's dead now. Also, their Google Places page has a one star review from the current resident that has their old telephone number. I also don't think Keepsakes Catholic Gifts should count. Not because their catholic, but because they probably sell more communion gowns than CDs.

• "Printapons" is a deal-of-the-day website that is localized if a certain number of people sign up for the offer, then the deal becomes available to all; if the predetermined minimum is not met, no one gets the deal that day.

• I luv u spelin doosh

• No, but they did close. Also, there are several of those shops that don't exist anymore, and haven't for a few years.

• Errrr, Didn't all the CD Warehouses clothes a year or two ago?

• Yeah, but they count Fry's Electronics...
