Not the worst way to punch our ticket. At home, good booze, 92, with his wife. I wouldn't have been watching the Oscars, but whatever.
That Tower Records documentary was awesome.

Re: Tower Records
Will have to make a point of seeing that documentary.
Tower Records is a boomer icon that our kids will never have any idea about how important it was, at least around here. With no digital downloads, no satellite radio, and not even any CDs, Tower was where you went to get your music. We had some decent FM "album rock" stations, where you'd hear the music and then go buy the album.

Re: Tower Records
We had a pretty decent local record shop/head shop. Bought Jamie Brockett's "Legend of the USS Titanic" on vinyl there. And paraphernalia. Much paraphernalia.
Not sure if Arch ever made it in there. Lake Street Station.

We used to have a place called Banana Records. It looked like a big cube. You had to go down half a flight of stairs below ground level to get to the door and then up a flight.
Looks like the building is still there. Hard to believe. I haven't been back to that location for at least 40 years.

We had boo boo records. Kicked Tower records ass in every way, including the fact that I never fucked the daughter of the owner of Tower Records.

The most profound fucking was the the one you received from life. You are a tiny, little mess. Seppuku now...and cobble together some semblance of dignity.

Re: Tower Records
We had the great House of Guitars. In fact unlike all those other record stores this joint is still open. I didn't buy too many instruments from the HoG, but plenty of LPs and cassettes.

Re: Tower Records
I’m a Columbia Records Club man myself. One penny now to choose ten mediocre albums, and $5.00 an album, three albums minimum per month for the rest of my life thereafter. What a deal!
Cock o' the walk, baby!
Re: Tower Records
There used to be a Tower Records in Beaverton mall. It was about 15 miles to drive there from our hood, and we could hit every record and head shop on the way. For What its Worth music, Music Millennium, among others. We would be pretty stoned by the time we finished, we would run into the dj's from KGON radio now and then and get loaded with them. Usually came home with at least 3 albums every trip. I still have over 1,000 LP's. And still buying them.
I scored a bunch of the plastic separation things that they put between the various albums in the bins. Got them at an estate sale, got Robin Trower, Hendricks, Skynyrd among others. Probably about 30 of them, going to make some kind of art work out of them in my new man cave next year.
