Eventually they will, but the pickings will be slim at that point.
 
 Timing is important on those discounts.  Great American Group is handling the liquidation of Tower Records and they have a 6-8 week plan from the middle of October to close all of the stores.  That means they may not be open through Xmas, or they may have a ridiculous "take it all" sale the day after Xmas.  You never know.

Did anyone even know that Tower Rockville had gay porn?

I've heard they're planning on closing down by "mid-December".  My guess is they'll just keep dropping the price 10% per week until Xmas, then write the rest off.

 cds..
 Kathleen Edwards - Back To You and Failer

 Josh Rouse - Subtitulo
 
 DVDs:
 Bulletproof Monk (sp ed)
 Little Britain: Complete First Series

I just got ahold of the soundtrack for that film, which, apparently, was never made...or completed. I love the CD, "The Psychedelic UBIK" by Sterling Roswell (ex-Spacemen 3 and The Darkness). I got interested after receiving a couple emails from Roscoe. Apparently, he's a fan of my show.

Pet Grief. I like it a lot. It's kind of got that hushed menace sound of J&MC's Darklands.

Tower Foggy Bottom had a $2 managers special on a number of overstock items. I bolstered my World/pseudo-World collection with cd's by:
 
 Bebel Gilberto (2)
 Zuca 103
 Dengue Fever
 a Brazilian comp
 Cibelle
 Karsh Kale
 Im probably forgetting one or two...
 
 and I got the Thom Yorke album for $5.

Ah, yes. That is a good one.
 
 If you like Radio Dept., you should check out my friends' band, Hearts Of Black Science. They sound a lot alike but I think they are a bit more versatile than Radio Dept. without getting lost.

Alexandria Tower is pretty well picked over. I got the last Hawkwind. No more Wilco, XTC, DBT, Brian Jonestown or The Jam. There is still plenty of standards such as Bowie, The Beatles, Stones and some Sonic Youth and Elliot Smith.
 
 I was told that Tysons' Tower is getting 50K more albums to liqudate before closing.

So then, you've read the book..?

[Jaguar]

No, not yet. Have you? What are your thoughts?
 
 Note to self: Place on my 'to read' list.

Not true.
