Tower Records To Be Liquidated
By Ed Christman, N.Y.
Tower Records, the music industry's most famous retail brand, will be liquidated beginning tomorrow (Oct. 7).
After a 30-hour auction, the process was won by the lead-bidder, Great American, who put together a consortium of other suitors who were bidding on different components of the retailer. The winning bid was $134.3 million.
â??It's a sad day for the music business and I feel badly for all Tower employees," says Jim Urie, president of Universal Music Group Distribution. "Tower was probably the greatest brand that will ever exist in music retail.â?
In court Michael Bloom, a partner with Philadelphia law firm Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, the law firm that represents the secured trace creditors committee, questioned if the winning bid was the best one. Bloom pointed out that one of Trans World's partners, Hilco Merchant Resources, LLC., upped its bid by $500,000â??after the auction closedâ??thus matching Great American's bid. Bloom claimed the Trans World bid was more beneficial for the 2700 Tower employees and all the trade creditors.
But U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Brendan L. Shannon ruled in favor of the Great American bid, noting it was important to vindicate the Chapter 11 auction process.
There is a chance Tower Records could live on via Tower.com. Norton LLC, part of the Great American consortium, put up $3.8 million to acquire Tower.com and Pulse Magazine.
Out-of-business sales at Tower's stores will begin tomorrow.

new weekend same topic…
Tonight it's me, a pair of fingerless gloves, and a stack of CDs to play for the people hanging out at 932 at the James Blunt Concert.
Sunday it's definitely TVOTR for me, and probably a movie and brunch with Kosmette.
Anyone else in the mood to share?

Food, hockey, music…that is my life.

Saturday: My wife's birthday dinner party (tres adult!), which means I'll be cooking and cleaning all day long.
Sunday: Cleaning up from said party, and probably just laying low. Possibly TVOTR if it doesn't sell out (and if I can stay awake that long).

Seeing The Departed at some point.
I *really* want to see TV on the Radio but Monday is going to be an intense day at work, and I just don't think a late show is a smart idea. We'll see. I've listened to Cookie Mountain more than a hundred times since getting it, and I just love it.

I played with one at the dog park the other night. Pretty nice dog. Of course, I can't say the name without giggling to myself a little.

Great dogs, but kind of high maintenance.
