A MAN NEEDS A FARMAID — Woody Allen once remarked that casual sex is a pretty empty experience, though as empty experiences go it rates pretty high. Well, watching Nell Young plough through 30 minute versions of 10 year old songs that were never that good to begin with was likewise a first rate second rate experience. But Young, performing at Pier 84 on September 10, proved he had a heart of gold when he talked mov- ingly about the plight of farmers and repeatedly plugged FARMAID and the Harkin Farm Reform Bill. The next morning he even appeared on ABC’s Good Morning America where he said the farm crisis was on his mind “all the time.” Another side of farm unem- ployment — that is, what farmers do with all their enforced leisure — was jocularly addressed by Ned Sublette at a CBGBs show September 13.

While open since July 4, the owners of Boston Compact A. Franklin J. Cougar Mellencamp Disc delayed a grand opening until their inventory levels reached 3,000 units in Sting W. Houston order to fulfill their claim as the most complete compact disc store. Sting “There are a number of phenomena that we realized from being involved in Tower Records — San Diego Tears For Fears ~ CDs from early on, and one of the most important of which, which led to the A* Sting CD store, was that the CD consumer is not necessarily the same person as the Dire Straits J; typical LP consumer. There is a certain alienation factor for a CD consumer to Tower Records — Fresno The Cure go into a record store where CDs, in the perception of the CD consumer, are Dire Straits W. Houston treated as the bastard children of records,” stated Boston Compact Disc co-owner Tears For Fears J. Cougar Mellencamp director of advertising and marketing Don Rose.

RETAILER'S PICK In order to locate this new consumer, a new strategy had to be devised for advertising. “Anywhere we advertise, we’re looking at only maybe five to 10 percent Retailer One-Stop Market of our impressions being applicable.
