long gone We fix that before struggling to maintain their
- 00:21
existence Record stores can't compete with digital streaming services Yeah
- 00:25
we fix that one too Thank you People nowadays no
- 00:28
longer need to store their music They can listen to
- 00:31
whatever they choose as long as they have access to
- 00:35
the internet while few you cd or vinyl records storage
- 00:39
cases anymore There's something rotten in denmark here in denmark
- 00:44
being a paragraph three There's the comma effectively separates the
- 00:51
two clauses of the sentence The sentence is correct as
- 00:54
is who actually not run not rotten at all It
- 00:58
works And yes we love it When that happens they
- 01:01

- 01:32
to you and that there's no change stick in these
- 01:35
others like they'll just sound bad like the idea that
- 01:38
people nowadays bubble whatever they choose as long as they
- 01:40
have access to music While few years alright we'll access
- 01:45
the music give access music through the internet right That's
- 01:48
the big failing on this one It's should be internet
- 01:51
not music and note that in each of these they
- 01:54
just have music there So that's all wrong Answer is
- 01:57
a no change Everyone could just go chill and listen 00:02:00.061 --> [endTime] to some led zep Yeah
