With CDs, VHSs and old cassette tapes stacked head high, Rainbow Music is a hoarder's paradise. However, its quirky owner, known as 'The Birdman', knows exactly where everything is. Amidst the Starbucks and Subways popping up on every corner of the East Village, Rainbow Music maintains its mom and pop feel, and is a hidden gem to its patrons.

The United States learned some of this from the British who learned it in turn during the 19th century when they were a dominant imperial power around the world. They cut…

… “Maybe it’s while you’re shopping. Maybe it’s while you’re watching television. Maybe it’s while you’re applying spray-on tanner to your fake breasts. We all have those moments each and every day when we feel, even if just for a second, that we’re living in an illusion, that we have bought in to a paradigm that doesn’t fit and can’t sustain. “Culture in Decline” abuses your illusions and molests your thoughts in all the right ways.
