This weekend saw the closing of another mainstay record store on the Sunset Strip. Last year it was Tower Records, this year it is Virgin Megastore. On Thursday I received an email from Virgin announcing the closing of this location this weekend and they included a 10% coupon. Over the weekend Jacki, Darian and I went down to the store and bought quite a few things ranging between 50%-75% off. No telling what they will put in its place.

Goodbye Virgin Megastore

:::::::THE THRILLS:::::::
The Thrills did an instore at Tower Records in Atlanta yesterday. Took the family and we enjoyed their brief set and picked up their cd. If you haven't heard them then check out their site. Very poppy, folky, with a little hint of country. Think Beach Boys, Neil Young (Harvest era), Gram Parsons all tied into one.
The meet and greet after the set was a bit disappointing. Either these guys don't like people, were extremely tired, or just don't know how to smile. Very impersonal. So don't expect much if you meet them, however the music is a bit refreshing although mellower than what I typically listen to.
