CD Stores in NYC I haven't been in NY since May. I knew that the Virgin in Union Sq was closing down but I didn't know that the one in Times Sq did as well.
Where does one go now for cds, other than Amazon? [Edited 12/3/09 13:05pm] | |

I go primarily to Best Buy for mainstream releases and Other Music (W4th & Lafayette) for indie releases.
There are a few other stores I'll check out if I'm nearby like Generation Records, Kim's Video, Sounds... Is Disc-O-Rama still around? Their prices were good. | |

When I'm in the City, I go to Village Music World on Bleecker (between McDougal & 6th). "Love Hurts. Your lies, they cut me. Now your words don't mean a thing. I don't give a damn if you ever loved me..." -Cher, "Woman's World" | |

Target?  Admittedly, I don't buy many CDs, but I trekked to Brooklyn to buy the Lotusfailure trilogy.The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp. | |

Not really anymore. Bleecker St. has some, but the "internets" has the most!  The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass.

There are still a couple of Disc-o-Ramas left in NYC. They sell way more than top 40 and at reasonable prices. Been gone for a minute, now I'm back with the jump off | |

I don't even know what that is Outside of NYC on the interstate highways, there are newsstands/restrooms every few miles where you can buy stuff to read and eat and there are usually cassette stands there--with mostly country music.  | |

my parents used to have a double cassette called Wandong Country, I bet they got it at a petrol station out on the road. Come to think of it, we stopped at a petrol station in Wandong last year, but I didn't see a single cassette in there  | |

Budget greatest hits and other artists you haven't thought about in years like Styx.
Or Alan Parsons.  | |

St Louis has a couple kick ass places.
One has a glass vault with rare and precious material for sale. To make a thief, make an owner; to create crime, create laws. | |
