man do I miss Tower records and

Man Do I miss Tower records and most of all their Annex. I would have dinner and after take a walk to their annex where there were thousands of Lps and Cd cutouts, and just so much more for the eyes and ears. I would stay there for hours until closing around 11pm finding so much, and now it's just an empty store. Anyone in NYC know of a place that is open much later then usual or should I just realize that does days are now over.

Here is Los Angeles we still have SecondSpin, CD Trader (both on Ventura Blvd) and the awesome Amoeba records. But I do miss the 98% of CD/LP stores that are gone. But we have to get over it and move on. The old days ain't coming back. Record labels business model is over. The classic rock era is over. Brick N Mortar is over. CDs are over. Hey, if this economy keeps up - the #$%^ USA might be over soon.

Rhino Records demise in Westwood is sad (the store - not the label) - they supported live music - had lots of cool instore live shows - Ameoba still does. You can't get that on itunes.
