Omg! It’s the cool rider! 😀
I was way late, but I just saw Empire Records for the first time around a year ago.
I am watching it right now. Damn the Man! Save the Empire!
I really wish that music stores had been saved. I know there are still some which exist, but not like they used to. Western Canada had this fantastic store called A & B Sound. Spent so much of my time there. I was really sad when they closed.
Great memories of picking up cassettes at Tower Records based on cover alone. Blind grabs with some success and finding songs by whistling the tune to employees. Mystical era.
I worked at a music store for a few years. It wasn't cool like one would see in the moving pictures but it was fun. I miss them too.
This place had a great cassette single section. Which I appreciated for the most part. My boyfriend in the early 90s had the single of Jump by Kris Kross and would play it in his car over and over again. That was torture. :)
This movie does have a fantastic soundtrack.
It is for this reason that I opposed cassette singles. I try not to wear out songs I like. I knew people that would ruin a tune by never popping it out of their car stereo.
>Kris Kross memory trigger!
>I Missed the Bus
I liked them when I like a song, but wasn't a huge fan of the band.
shareNor I. I only really liked "I Missed the Bus" when my nephew played the album for me. A very bright burning 15 minutes of fame that was.
shareLol. I meant cassette singles. There were a few that I bought because I liked a song, but didn't want the rest of the tape. I also used to record songs off the radio, but the DJs would always talk over the end of the song.
share“the DJs would always talk over the end of the song.”
That was always such a bummer back then.
I did the same. Poised with my fingers on the Play/Record buttons before every song, just in case. One of the DJs named Frasier Smith would keep talking all the way up until the singing would begin. He was funny but there he is, immortalized on a 90 minute TDK chrome cassette yammering over great parts of songs. >:(
(I lent one of those tapes to a pal and got it back with the ribbon twisted. Could listen to Dio's Holy Diver and Ratt's Lay It Down backward after that)
