Al, I don't know when the DC store is gonna close. It used to have 2 levels and only one is open now. Oh yeah, I bought that Dengue Fever Cambodian garage pop cd that's in that picture, at the Alexandria store awhile back for 50% off, and last week I saw about 30 copies of it on sale in the DC store for $1.50 each. Rap is down to 75 cents each in DC I think.

Also: This person's Amazon Marketplace storefront seems to consist entirely of items purchased at Tower's liquidation sale

Yeah, a depressing number of the leases were purchased by FYE and fucking Walgreen's of all places. At least a few of the California stores' leases were picked up by Rasputin, which is definitely an upgrade.
Passing by the original locations and seeing them turned into video-focused FYE stores is going to be hard to stomach.

woah ... when i was at the palo alto location the other day the manager was talking a lot of shit about the owner of rasputin, i guess he had dropped by. that conversation makes more sense now! i hope we get a rasputin in palo alto ...
dance got cut to $1 at some point a few days ago and BAM, everything *gone*.
i picked up
black devil disco club - $1black dice "smiling off" - $1miss kittin bugged out mix - $3studio one lovers - $7norman jay presents philadelphia - $7sounds of monsterism island - $9
i guess that's it for that ... pretty much NOTHING left at this point that i don't already own a copy of.
also dropped by the blossom hill tower, sure enough, pretty fucking depressing. grabbed annie's dj kicks for $3 and broadcast's "tender buttons" for $3. might drop by on sunday and see if i can get big youth's "screaming target" for $1. they had a copy of this too ... is it worth it for $15???

Suba: Sao Paulo ConfessionsCibelle: s/tCibelle: Shine of the Dried Electric Leaves
(Shit I'm checking samples of something I was thinking of buying and it was definitely worth the $2.70, to the point where I'm tempted to go buy right now and get it. It's almost a miracle that it's left, but it's somewhat obscure. Philly Tower closing FAP in 20 minutes anyone? No, that's okay.)
(Tower closing sale addiction.)
I didn't think to look for pr0n videos. :(

Dance is still pretty strong at the Market store actually. There are a zillion copies of this which really depresses me actually.

Done. I bought a second copy just in case anyone else is interested in one the half dozen greatest labels evah. They were $6 including tax which is 1/3 of what I paid new :(
Deej, I do. And now I want to go buy Rappin 4-tay's "Don't Fight The Feeling" haha.
― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Sunday, 17 December 2006 00:32 (seventeen years ago) link
If you're going to apply Deej's pickup technique, might I recommend you use the latest Jolie Holland album? Every Tower I've been to seems to have somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 copies of it, which is depressing, frankly. It's one of my favorite albums of the year and is probably more lady-friendly than some mid-'90s Bay Area rap.

The two of these I left when I snagged my $12 one were still there, and this time I didn't even bother putting another disk in front of them. Extremely picked over now, but I found a Parliament best of, a jazz disk that looked interesting (Kidd Jordan with Hamid Drake and William Parker, I think Jordan's been mentioned on an ILM jazz thread), and the Daevid Allen/Gong disk with the horrible cover. There's still a couple I'm waiting for %80 off before I splurge.
