New Godspeed record was 35 bucks in Tower. Single vinyl. I said fuck that and downloaded it. Usually don't do that but that price was exorbitant.

Seen that, went into Elastic Witch and asked Gibby how much the Godspeed album was. He said "around €24, haven't gotten it in yet. I take it you've seen the price Tower are selling it at?" He said he couldn't understand how/why they were charging so much for it.New Godspeed record was 35 bucks in Tower. Single vinyl. I said fuck that and downloaded it.

I used to manage maybe two or three such trips a year when I was a teenager. It was definetly a full days work checking out all the shops when you could only afford about 3 tapes and had to choose carefully.

Well hopefully this helps the likes of Tower, Freebird, Plugd, Elastic Witch etc. Have a lot of good memories queuing outside HMV Grafton st for new releases but better them than any of the aforementioned.
I don't think it will, I couldn't see the average Joe Soap who buys the newest Coldplay album opting for an indie-bed wetting record store.
I popped into Tower over Christmas and the place has gotten really dingy. Window display had cheaply printed posters, couldn't find the 'Irish' (local bands), magazine racks in awful order. They need to dial in the assistance of a Mary 'Queen of Shops'. If your product is nicely organised/faced off, I'm more likely to buy it.
it's a bit mental. what are the high streets going to look like in 10 years?
Euro-shops,spars,coffee shops and vacant spaces.
