Sorry I wrote you guys up!  Remember "you get it nicer at Licorice Pizza?" I remember us saying "just be glad you get it at all" once we got bought by the big corporate idiots...
Tower gone = end of my vinyl-buying days makes a headline. But now I only shop Amoeba anyway. *sigh* l love Amoeba...But Tower: RIP old friend. |
You raise an interesting point - even though we worked at a record store, where did we go on our precious day off? To the Hollywood record stores, of course: Aaron's, Renee's, the Sunset Licorice Pizza and Tower. And, of course, the infamous Capitol Records swap meet, where you could find bootlegs, rare vinyl, or in Lizzie's case, giant cardboard Dream Police...
