The Residents: Ralph America RIP
Ralph America [home of The Residents] will be closing after 11 years on August 15, 2010. Changes in the music business have made it very difficult for small operations to exist as the world goes download. There are sites where you can download all RA titles for free (RSD ones too) so trying to stay in business no longer works very well. RSD will also be pulling back on issuing music due to the free download sites.
EuroRalph faced a similar situation last year and also closed down [after 17 years].
Welcome to the new reality.
We didn’t buy, and so they die.
