Tower Records To Be Liquidated starting 10/7

[Relaxer]

The jazz section at FG was same as the rock section. If you're a hiphop fan, you're in luck because those are 70% off. I keep hearing about T.I. (all the hipster sites are raving about it, of course) so picked up his new one for about four bucks.
 Also picked up
 Hot Chip
 Silversun Pickups
 Rye Coalition
 Longwave

Toys were 40% off the other day I think. Maybe 50% now?
 
 I picked up:
 
 Joseph Arthur-Our Shadows Will Remain
 Pernice Brothers-Live a Little
 Strays Don't Sleep-Self-Titled
 
 One more copy of Joseph Arthur's Nuclear Daydream left at Foggy Bottom for one lucky person.

Fairoak was only 40% off the toys
 
 70% hip hop
 
 50% on most everything else.

I just got back from Rockville.  I picked up a Killer Klowns figure, a Hip Hop Cartman, A Darkman...& Wonder Showzen the 1st season, a DVD "The Trial Of Lt.Calley" starring Harrison Ford. Philip K.Dick's book UBIK.  A coupla Sports Illustrated swimsuit DVD's to give to the disabled fellas I work for 4Xmas. A Tabitha Stevens porno DVD.  I like Tabitha because she looks like a clone, like she was created from some petri dish.  The straight porno section was about ¾'s gone.

 Though I should note that the gay porn section was still well stocked, so if you are into that Tower Rockville's yer place.  As for CD's, there was no Zappa. No James Brown.  No HawkwinD.

Just curious -- what's the plan for Tower.com? Are they going to keep it running?

As of now, yes.  They were sold separately in the Bankruptcy and are not part of the liquidation scheme.

Is any Tower going over 50% off for pop/rock CDs?
