You know how a picture says a thousand words?  I think this picture of the CD racks at a local Target speaks volumes to the problems within the music industry.  I went to pick up the new Cold War Kids CD at Target.  They didn’t have it.  “Out of stock” was the answer I was given.  In fact, they were out of stock of many hot artists.  In the top 20 slots they were out of stock on 14 titles.  The music labels keep complaining that illegal downloading is killing them.  No one is buying CDs anymore.  Maybe the reason no one is buying CDs anymore is because you’re not selling any of them!  How are we supposed to buy CDs if you won’t even stock them?  This rack was specifically set up for certain artists.  Target obviously had these titles at one time.   Which means people obviously bought them. Am I the only one perplexed by this?

On a side note, they had dozens of copies of Snooki’s new book.
