Hatred?
For a store?
A store that no one's ever forced you to shop at?
Ok.

If you shout... said:It's a different mode of exploitation at a store like Tower (and it's not like Tower is some pinnacle of evil) than sweatshop jeans in your favorite national retail giant, but both exploitative practices are part of the same apparatus.
Different tentacles on the same octopus, if you will. A cold, manipulative, evil, cruel octopus. Okay, I am stopping. I am sorry for being propagandistic. Be well, kids.

Anyways, I have some great memories of the Tower Records locations in so Cal, most of them from the various sleepovers we had in the late 80's :lo: and 90's to buy U2, Depeche Mode, The Cure, etc concert tickets. Back when you could have about 300 people waiting in line for the doors to open the next day the tix would go for sale. Those "parties" were awesome.

Just use Amazon, people.
And, you know, save like $15.

I attribute the loss of business to them thinking that people are retarded enough to spend twenty fucking dollars on an album. This is easily the best news in history. Fuck Tower Records.

High prices, corporate consumernism and all!!! I will alway them for allowing me to discover new music, being accessible, and having what I wanted when I wanted it. For opening up at midnight to sell Zooropa and giving away a freebie, for having friendly and knowledgeable staff, and for being a warm place to shop.
I you Tower Records...sorry to see you go.
martha said:I rarely paid full price at Tower, but their sale prices couldn't be beat, and they had so many discs, and so many listening stations. I found the Mag Seven, the Bell-Rays, and Pelican there, just to name a few.
