The Fall of Tower Records
This is really sad. Very sad. I started my first real job for a german indie record distribution company in 1989. I met my husband working for that record company. We moved to the UK because he worked for a record company there. We ran a record company out of our house in Amsterdam. My husband is now working for a record (oh...I mean) music distributor in San Francisco and our small house is filled with his CD and Record collection.
We knew this is happening and we love our ipods - but somehow when I read the paper today and saw the add below it all became real... real... real.. SAD!
Any jobs for my husband anyone?

I, too, was saddened to see Tower Records close shop - until I actually went into the 'record' store.
#1: terrible selection
#2: over priced cds
#3: no records
#4: terrible music being played in the store
This is the one in Emeryville (by Trader Joe's). I saw the going out of business signs and decided to go in. There was nothing to buy. It was all old garbage.
It's hard to be sympathetic to such a poorly run store. The one on Durant sucked, too. Overpriced, bad selection, terrible staff.
Plus, they caught me shoplifting.

Wait, doesn't your husband still have a job?? I wrote up my own recollections on Tower Records' downfall the FIRST time they filed for bankrupcy - if you're interested, it's at
