This is all really sad to hear. Shocking emotionally, but not economically. Record stores are now getting squeezed not only by the digital music rise, but also by the thing that is and will squeeze everybody’s wallets: energy prices. Even if you don’t drive, everything you buy is going up. The twilight of the easy life? Just maybe…

Thanks for the mention Jonsolomon. The difference being, of course, that people have actually heard of Siren and Relapse. Now that I don’t have my own place (in a couple days anyway), I look forward to shopping for music for myself again. I’m throwing my support behind Long In The Tooth, because Nick and Janis are awesome and they have a baby to feed.

Somebody find me a good job.

you missed some newer stores like SWEET JANE (a personal favorite) and long in the tooth.

No Beautiful World Syndicate! Two locations now. 1000+ vinyl LPs and 7″s come through the door a week. Best used record store in the North East perhaps ?

The 300 grand figure is likely the result of an acceleration of the rent for the rest of the term of the lease, triggered by the default, rather than rent that is actually past due.
