Tower Records To Be Liquidated starting 10/7

[kosmo vinyl]

and remember that should you not be fully in love with any of your tower purchases there is always lala.com where you can swap them for other more desirable discs...  checkout the ipod shuffle and creative zen give away they are having at the moment.
 
  lala is great and you'll soon think so to!

No.

a dc store clerk told me 12/20 was the last day.  it also looks like they took away some of their stock.  when the reggae went from upstairs to downstairs there was nothing left.  i find it hard to believe they sold that much in a couple of days.  they are probably saving it for the internet.

Fairfax store also fairly well picked over (imo).
 Lots of Robbie Fulks, Taylor Hawkins (how is this album?), Hotel Lights, Twilight Singers, Tim Easton, Josh Rouse (I get all the "Josh" singers mixed up - how is this album?)
 I was hoping for Calexico, Damien Rice...I did find an import mix/benefit cd that looks cool.
 
 When is Tyson's last day? Worth looking into?
 
 I suppose I haven't shopped at Tower over the years. I was surprised at the original prices as I thought most cds were priced at $16.99.   :eek:  
 Regarding the music playing in the store - I don't care what you play - but gah, so loud??
 I guess it fits the out of biz mode...

I was at Rockville on Friday.  They had a "Last 8 Days" sign up.  I guess that means their last day is 12/22.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

As far as I've heard, Tysons, Fairfax, and Rockville are all closing Friday.
 
 Based on my visit to each of those this past Friday, only one has anything worth driving back for.
 
 I wonder if they will follow the same markdowns that the Alexandria store did on the last day? They went from 90% off to $1 for anything to 50 cents to 25 cents. I felt like a kid in a candy store.

So which one is worth driving back for? Rockville is pretty much cleaned up...

 Rhett: please answer Joe's question, above      
 
 El Tee: haven't listened to the taylor hawkins album yet, i've read that it's a respectable attempt at 70's-influenced guitar rawk.
