Leopold's, Wherehouse, Sam Goody's, Musicland, Tower... all gone. Only big chains left are Virgin Megastore and FYE. None gonna be in Frisco. It's all about the indies... Streetlight, Rasputin's, Amoeba.
Damn...on the real though that's kinda fucking things up for the independant artist. Most of them can't get into Target, Best Buy or Wallmart. This might hurt Bay artist.
eh..since moving out of the bay to OC tower is really my only spot. i dont know how many times i was bored and just decided to drive to tower to check some cd's and read high times, and murder dog. RIP Tower
i dont know whether to be happy or if ill miss them. the cds were just way too high priced but they did have magazines that id go read late night and if the cd was on sale and rasputins was closed id break down and buy it sometimes. i guess i will miss tower being there but since they started closing at 10 already i stopped going there often anyways.
I just buy wherever has the CD first and for the lowest price and whoever has the coolest dudes there that kno wats goin on and wats comin out and shit...usually this mom and pop called backdoor disc and tape in the 707 But ill buy from anywhere if they got the best deal...most big chains started out as mom and pops too, dont hate and not buy from them just cuz theyre tycoonin
