Aloha Tower Records

Wow. Tower Records is kaput.

Link (via L.A. Times)

The winning bidder was a liquidation company that's going to spend the next six weeks attempting to eliminate the chain's inventory. Sure, it could be a few weeks of super cheap music, but still it's kind of sad.

While I tend to frequent Amoeba a lot more since it moved in, I always had a soft spot for Tower, which seemed a cut above the other records stores in Los Angeles (like Wherehouse, Sam Goody's, Musicland, Licorice Pizza...). The Sunset Strip store is an L.A. landmark.



The Strip is going to be a little bit emptier now...
