You have a point about Tower Records being ultimately just another player in league with the forces of music industry darkness, but I always enjoyed the dowdiness of the S. Wabash St. store. It almost seemed like they didn't realize they had become part of a nationwide chain. And if it weren't for the corporate dinosaurs and the remainder of their physical distribution network, we wouldn't even have DSD/SACD. At least the dinos could afford to invent it, develop it, and throw it out there for us.And yes, there are still record stores in Chicago--Jazz Record Mart on East Illinois St. comes to mind. But as supporters of SACD/high resolution, I wonder just what new technology we should be embracing . . . aren't we still waiting for high resolution downloadable (maybe they could call it HRD)? And for the most part, aren't we still waiting for regular CD-resolution downloadable?
