Don’t Forget: Sonic Boom Moving Sale!

October 16th, 2009

Hey you! We have to make sure that we don’t just buy digital anymore, people. I’m serious, we have to support the brick-and-mortar record stores, especially the cool ones that sell all the cool music we like. Think about it: what would urban epicenters look like if small, independent record stores disappeared? It would be tragic—TRAGIC—if that happened. They’d be soulless, and with little 1s and 0s floating around everywhere. The listening stations: gone. The free in-store peformances: gone. Convenient ticket counters: gone. You’d be forced to buy music at fucking Wal-Mart, for chrissakes.

The Capitol Hill Sonic Boom is moving in November (not too far, just down to Melrose, between Pike and Pine) and Wednesday (10/14) marked the beginning of their big 11-day moving sale. Don’t let the relocation to a bigger space fool you: business is shitty for Sonic Boom and I don’t have to tell you why. You’ll recall the Fremont store closing in Feb. 2008. But we’ve all fallen on tough times, right? So, luckily, this sale should benefit both merchant and consumer. All non-sale items will be 20% off, including CDs, LPs, 7-inches, DVDs, toys, accessories, and more. Plus, thousands of CDs are being marked down to $1 (or three for $2).

Get thee to 15th!
