The CD stores in Greenwich Village are disappearing. There are none left on West 8th Street. Even Coconuts and Sam Goody are finished on 6th Avenue. Second Coming and the first home of Bleeker Bob's are long closed. In the East Village a few hold-outs remain. It's bad for book stores too. Still, it's fun to go to the remaining stores and occasionally find things. The above promo isn't particularly rare and it doesn't contain music you can't find other places, but it is still a good feeling to look through the bins at Sounds and find something that isn't on Amazon of even eBay. For ten bucks. Finding rarities on the web is no fun. You use a search engine and you are done. Very passive.
