Did anybody catch the game yesterday? I didn't due to unfortunate events or black-out channel with particular cable tv. I’m sure a lot of football fans could not watch the game—unless they stream live. And you tried to view the channel a lovely person would explain to you why the NFL is no longer available. “We offered Fox to extend the contract, with payment, until after the Super Bowl on February 2 to ensure the best possible customer experience for the remainder of the NFL season, but Apollo & Fox refused this offer (my.dish.com). They go on to say that Fox does not care about the consumer and only thinking about making money “they don’t care how high a customer’s bill gets and are just trying to squeeze every last penny out of consumers to recoup the billions they spent on buying these stations.” but Dish actual cares about their customers. Sounds kind of fishy to me. The statement continues to say Dish offered Fox to continue playing the games while the ongoing negations. However, the same statement from Fox "Dish elected to drop Fox networks in an effort to coerce us to agree to outrageous demands. While we regret this is Dish's preferred approach to negotiating, we remind our loyal viewers that the Fox services are widely available through every other major television provider" (sportingnews .com). It sounds like the companies are greedy and are taking advantage of the situation. And more than likely have customers seek out streaming solutions.
This weekend I went to an awesome record store in Seattle called Easy Street Records. Man oh, oh man was I was in vinyl record heaven, at first glance the store had some records, merch, and cafe. And I was a little excited to fully know to expect, so I checked out a few bins seeing that it was a marked sale. And some rows wrapped around the upper level which was small but it had a whole lot of vinyl records. Words cannot explain the feeling in a record store and a great one for that matter. But what made this store worth the trip was the number of rare records that you cannot find at Best Buy, Barnes n Nobles, Wal-Mart or Adventure Land Comics store. This place is my top favorite record store aside from RIP "Off the Record" which unfortunately went out business.
