pour one out for sounds
from Stuff:
Sounds silenced by $20m debt
Sounds, the biggest national chain of music stores, has shut its doors after its parent company collapsed, owing its bank and other creditors almost $20 million.
Damn. Now admittedly progress is progress, and I’m part of the problem being I buy maybe 1 CD a year. But still, it saddens me to think of normal people out in the burbs having The Warehouse as their only option to physically shop for music. Not really much of a ‘music buzz’ walking through those aisles. CD’s all out of order. Random appliances, garden tools and fisher price toys etc lying on the floor. Bummer.

Wow. The whole downloading thing is pretty far-reaching huh?
Scrooge - I think that’s part of the reason Sounds didn’t do so well. Real Greedy diversified into DVD’s, Clothes and other random stuff. Where as Sounds was still operating on that old formula for record stores. Like Rick Rubin said, these companies better catch up.
Their 2 for $50 sales were mean. R.I.P.
