Dimple Records Closing; People Dismayed






                                                     Dimple Records located in Folsom, CA; one of six in the area

Sacramento's biggest remaining record store, Dimple Records, has officially announced that it will be closing its doors for good over the next few months. For years Dimple Records has provided its community with hundreds of CDs, movies, video games, books, and more, all for a low price. This store has created a safe place for many of its shoppers to go and indulge in all their favorite forms of art. It's all too easy to lose track of time wondering the many aisles in search of that one CD which brings you back to some of your favorite memories. There's something within their walls for everyone.

However, in this day and age, CDs aren't as appreciated as they once were. This is mainly due to the growing popularity of music streaming services, such as Spotify. These services offer a variety of music filled with ads that you have to pay to get rid of. The newer generations have missed out on the feeling of opening up a new CD and blasting it for all to hear. The sound quality is better than any streaming service and most CDs come with extras in the tracks that you otherwise wouldn't hear. Plus, there is no fun like flipping through a CD book and finding out that you've been singing the lyrics wrong the whole time. Basically, CDs without a doubt are the best way to listen to all of your favorite music and are fun to collect as well.

These issues have had a great effect on Dimple Records which has ultimately led to their closing. This is the first step toward the destruction of an important part of our history and culture as a community. If we allow Dimple Records to close without a fight then we lose a part of ourselves that streaming services can never replace.

So we at The Riptide News are asking for your help in preserving our history and saving our records. If you would like to help support our cause then there are links down below to make your voice heard. We will not be silenced. Thank you for doing your part to help save our community.

Ranking 'My Chemical Romance's' Music Videos

Image
My Chemical Romance dominated the music scene during the 2000s and continues to live on through their fans. Since you all seemed to enjoy us ranking 'Twenty One Pilots' music videos, we decided to turn this into a series and what better band to feature next than My Chemical Romance? We judged them off of the video only, not the song or its popularity. So from our least favorite to our most loved,  here you go. #14   Planetary (GO!) While it was a fun video filled with bright lights, it was only a video of the band performing. It doesn't quite live up to some of the other videos on this list. #13   Blood Singing in a locker room doesn't change it from being another performance video, but the facial expressions were sick at least. #12   Desolation Row Yet, another performance video. At least this one was dark and really fun at the same time. #11   Famous Last Words The epic performance video to conclude ' The...

Review For 'Badflower's' Music Video: 'Promise Me'

Image
American rock band, Badflower recently released their fourth music video from their album, ' OK, I'M SICK ' for the song ' Promise Me .' The video came out on June 13, 2019, and has gathered 554,837 views on Youtube at the time of this article. Being their newest video, I decided to go ahead and give it my honest review. The video will be linked at the end of the article. The video tells the story of two lovers growing old together. It is a beautiful sentiment that the band handles well. We see it start out with the couple as children when they first meet each other in a hospital. They lighten the dark and gloomy mood of their location with childhood innocence and playfulness. This plays a huge part in the overall theme of the song and the video, which is living in denial of growing old. The next scene cuts forward to when the duo are young adults, in a bar. The characters still maintain the same innocence as their children counterparts, further i...
