I've noticed more and more stores organizing their selection
by labels, and I think it's great.

Music's categories keep branching, especially in the DJ world
where too many people need to slap on a category. More consistent
than changing categories are record labels... you hear beats on one
label and you check out some other shit on that label.... there ya go!

I dont think we should abandon all categorization by music type- it makes
good guidelines. But within those general categories methinks its good
to organize by label.

New Yorkers should check out Dub Spot - that store is organized really well-
Each area of the store has a general music style - on the wall you have
new shit, in the bins below you have recent arrivals (mixed), then things
organized by label, then Various Artists.
