Schoolkids II, and Music Retailing
| 
Sep 25 02:15 UTC 1998 |
Here's the latest news from Schoolkids Records.
For the final two days of the downtown store, "old stock" is 50%
off. The "old stock" is pretty well picked over. "New stock,"
which is generally spring 1998 and later releases, holds at 25% off.
Friday is the final day for the downtown store. I just came back
from my last trip there, with a bag of nine CDs for $60.
A new flyer announces that Schoolkids is going to move operations
to Oz's Music, on Packard. The old stock sale will continue for 40%
off; new stock will be at 25% off.
"See you there!
Stay tuned for more developments!" says the flyer.

(Nope. I wonder what the right way to do it is.)

Was there buying my lastest stack of CDs and a t-shirt, too
, when there was less than 30 minutes left to go. Saw Steve Bergman
and wished him luck on future endeavers. He seems happy that instead
of dumping the store and getting out, he got to give customers a
great sale and was pleased that all where their to say thank you for
the years he was there. He's got the big task tonight of packing the
remainder of the stock into a Ryder truck and be out by late tonight.
Also saw Matt Watroba (host of WDET's "Folks Like Us") helping out
by clearing out those CD holders from the cash register area, and
talking to costomers--he also signed the last of his CDs to be sold
at the store for a customer.
Is Hootie & the Blowfish forgoten already. a number of their
CDs where still in the racks. Meanwhile, two Squirel Nut Zippers
CDs went into customers hands (only 25% discount) while I was in
front of that rack.

remmers: !clickable or !clickify will bring up some old conference
text to coach one through making Backtalk links.

Hootie is one of those cheeserock acts that tends to fade fairly quickly after
the people have gotten tired of their music. They're not prettyboy cheese
rock, but they're still kinda... poppish.

(Re resp:6 - Thanks, I'll try that the next time I've got a terminal
connection to Grex. Unfortunately, one can't run shell commands when
connected via Backtalk, and I can't seem to find documentation on
clickifying in the web-based Backtalk help...)
