was today the last day for the alexandria store?
Tower Records To Be Liquidated starting 10/7
yup, the originally told me on the phone that they's be closing at 9, but I was there at 6 and they said only 30 minutes more.
Hey Rhett, if you don't like that Statistics CD, I'll give you a $1 for it.
finally checked out foggy bottom today… talk about picked over.
for $16 i got:
jeff mills: blue potential (live with montpelier symphony) (first impression: techno meets a disney soundtrack)
the gathering: home
taylor hawkins and the coattail riders
banco de gaia: farewell ferengistan

taylor hawkins and the coattail riders
Lots of Robbie Fulks, Taylor Hawkins (how is this album?), Hotel Lights, Twilight Singers, Tim Easton, Josh Rouse (I get all the "Josh" singers mixed up - how is this album?)
I was hoping for Calexico, Damien Rice…I did find an import mix/benefit cd that looks cool.
When is Tyson's last day? Worth looking into?
I suppose I haven't shopped at Tower over the years. I was surprised at the original prices as I thought most cds were priced at $16.99. :eek:
Regarding the music playing in the store - I don't care what you play - but gah, so loud??
I guess it fits the out of biz mode…
I was at Rockville on Friday. They had a "Last 8 Days" sign up. I guess that means their last day is 12/22.
As far as I've heard, Tysons, Fairfax, and Rockville are all closing Friday.
Based on my visit to each of those this past Friday, only one has anything worth driving back for.
I wonder if they will follow the same markdowns that the Alexandria store did on the last day? They went from 90% off to $1 for anything to 50 cents to 25 cents. I felt like a kid in a candy store.

So which one is worth driving back for? Rockville is pretty much cleaned up…

Rhett: please answer Joe's question, above :)
El Tee: haven't listened to the taylor hawkins album yet, i've read that it's a respectable attempt at 70's-influenced guitar rawk.

I'm not going to answer that one. You guys are the competition now, and I want there to be something left when I go there Friday after work. :p
Plus, it's really just my opinion, which may differ from yours or those of others!

Originally posted by Bombay Chutney:Hmm. I was there Wednesday and the sign said 9 days. Did they add a day or just forget to change it to 7 when you were there?

BTW, it was 70% then. Anyone know what it is now?
I went yesterday and expecting to pay 30% but when I got to the register, the guy manually entered $1 for each of the CDs I bought…

Originally posted by beetsnotbeats:Dunno. Steny's post backs-up the 12/22 date though. Use at your own risk.

Originally posted by Joe M.:Rockville had $1 bins, full of things they have multiple copies of. Check the $1 bins first. The staff doesn't always know what's $1 and what isn't, so you may need to point out that you got something from the $1 bin.

At this point, you could probably tell them anything and they'll believe it, or they just don't care. Friday someone entered $0.00 for one of my cds and said "Merry Christmas".
hmmmm - I hope I didn't just get them fired. Oh, wait…
I was at Rockville and saw the same 8 days sign Chutney saw. That's what I'm going by.
Fairfax had 12/22 posted.
I called Vienna and they told me Friday. I called Foggy Bottom, and they told me Wed.
Beware, it's possible that any of them may close early on their last day, as the Alexandria store did yesterday.

Nah, at this point I'm actually surprised when anyone on this board admits to sharing the same opinion as me. :)
