So did they bite the dust or throw in the towel? Find a chestnut and run with it, that's what I say. The South Bay lost the great Go-Boys Records in January. The owner said that folks stopped buying CDs at some point in 2005 and business never picked up again. It's hard to compete with free, harder to compete with "now." iTunes (and soon Amazon) offer the consumer the option of not getting off their ever-widening asses and driving to the store. Your various p2p sources offer free AND now. Personally, I'd rather have it now AND in decent fidelity.

"it's hard not to think that Amoeba, iTunes, Best Buy, and Amazon isn't partially to blame" It's music buyers (all of us) who are to blame. Sorry to hear it's shutting down.

So very very sad. At least Family on Fairfax takes up the real-keepin' slack.
