Tower Records Is NOT Dead!

[Cal]

Their website is up (Tower.com) and running and I called their customer service line and spoke to an agent. They said the webiste is a seperate company from Tower Records stores and have a different distributor. Go here:

So it lives on as an online store? That's pretty dismal if you ask me.

Just a name, 'Tower'. What's in a name? Tower Records was a place.

That's great news!  I was hoping their site would stay up.  The Tower website is excellent for checking discographys, in some ways better than the AMG All-Music guides.  Are there any Tower stores still open?  The one down in Newport Beach/Costa Mesa Ca. shut down abruptly without specific notice prior to the final shopping week before Christmas, which surprised me.

The site never went down, and it surprised me that it wasn't publicized that the site would remain.  That can't be helpful if people think its online presence no longer exists.  It has the best search engine of any music selling site.  Amazon has a terrible search engine, always giving too many results.  Plus, Tower has a better selection, including imports.
