Admittedly it would take a bit of effort but it would mean local shops would be part of the local scene, which would no doubt then attract online interest from elsewhere.
I'd love to be able to find local shops in weird places and check out their band scenes online.
This is obviously not an entirely serious proposal but it kinda makes sense.
Right everybody please start shooting me down now.

This post has reminded me that One Up STILL doesn't have a web presence. Shoddy.
