And that reminded me of another advantage of Tower stores - a separate section for classical music, so that we don't have to listen to hip-hop blaring over the speakers while trying to choose between Bach and Beethoven. (Bach wins!)<BR/><BR/>The Virgin Records store in San Francisco has the same arrangement, as I recall, but obviously most other stores do no.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214806.post-1161218378227163292006-10-18T17:39:00.000-07:002006-10-18T17:39:00.000-07:00How sad.

It caused traffic barriers and no-parking signs to sprout in the residential neighborhood behind it and a fence to grow on the median of the street in front to prevent customers from parking at the mall across the street and (jay)walking to the store. <BR/><BR/>The most notable SF-area store was in San Francisco on Columbus Avenue in the North Beach area. I only went there a few times, however.<BR/><BR/>I don't buy a lot of music, but I definitely prefer CD's while they are still unrestricted. (They won't be that way forever.) This DRM'd stuff that Apple and others sell, or the music that is subscribed to, is a real slap in the face to consumers - who, I must say, deserve it for all the piracy that has gone on. I don't steal music, I don't copy friends' CD's, and I don't want no copy-protected s**t on my iPod.<BR/><BR/>I do try to buy CD's in stores rather than the internet, though I just have to admit that ordering from Amazon is tres convenient.<BR/><BR/>I'll wander over to the Tower near my office later this week and see what's left for picking.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
