I saw a lot of reggaeton compilations that should never have been bought in such quantities. (Cuban reggaeton, yeah, there's a big demand for that in Philadelphia.)

They're at 80% and there wasn't much left but I still made some good finds, as did donut.

Felt - Ignite the Seven CannonsNathan Fake - Drowning in a Sea LoveDJ Rogers (3xCD import)- It's Good to Be Alive/On the Road Again/Love, Music, & LifeWooden Wand and the Vanishing Voice - The FloodEllen Allien - ThrillsChelonis Jones - Dislocated GeniusDonald Fagen - Morph the CatCandi Staton - His Hands
$48.00, which is something considering the bs import prices on most of them.
All hip-hop is $1.00. I'll probably go back for the outlawz cd.I was gonna buy a rap cd from "Law and Orda" for the hell of it, but come on now, a dollar's a dollar. Couldn't find the Tom Moulton mix they had plenty of last week, oh well. Coachwhips got nothing on "HellRaza", there must be 100 copies of his album scattered throughout the store. LAST DAY IS WEDNESDAY, and everything will be 90% off that day according to cashier dude.

The Portland store was a complete madhouse yesterday, with a whole lot of people filling up shopping baskets at a furious rate. I'm really curious what it's gonna look like on Tuesday.

yesterday I went to sell about 200 cds at amoeba and there were probably 40 they wouldn't even take, most of them not dogs either. I told the manager I'd suddenly realized that if I were going to ever get rid of my cds I'd better do it now before the value of them vanishes and he said it's already happened; it peaked in april, and since then the onslaught of sold-back cds is overwhelming them. they have warehouses full that they will never see the floor in. Ack! Knowing all this, why do I still wish I'd picked up some MORE stuff at tower? ludicrous!

This is fascinating. There's a massive glut of the objects on the market (plus the Tower liquidation had to hurt all other music retailers) and still prices don't fall. How can music continue to cost money when it can be endlessly replicated for free? The future has to point to music being free.

So why are Amoeba used prices so high then? And why aren't there more things I want when I go in there. :(

Not my tastes anyway.
"but i've found amoeba's used prices to be fairly reasonable."
Too much stuff for $11, $12, $13 at the SF one. The Berkeley one is more reasonable, I agree.

You didn't hear it from me, but there's a very good rumor that the Virgin Megastores are going to be the next to go in mid-2007. It won't be a full-on bankruptcy like Tower, but lots of store closures/stock liquidation.

When I was a kid, the Tower Records near the sports arena in San Diego was, for me, the ultimate record store, the coolest place in the universe. It feels a little weird to realize that it won't exist anymore, and it won't even make a good story for my grandkids. I mean, I even worked at a Tower when I was a teenager.

So musicians will only make money by performing live? I don't think so. Will all Pitchfork employees work for free?
