so the raleigh schoolkids will be closing too? that sucks

2/26/2008 10:45:09 AM

a shame.

2/26/2008 10:45:20 AM

fuck no

2/26/2008 11:06:12 AM

holy shit

2/26/2008 11:06:22 AM

mike phillips was my little league coach when i was younger



we never got free cds when we won though

the raleigh store isn't closing... the rent at the location we're at now is ridiculous, it's just gonna move somewhere else when the lease is up.

mike phillips being a little league coach is pretty funny though

edit to add that cd alley is really the best record store in the triangle anyways

2/26/2008 11:19:15 AM

2/26/2008 11:21:23 AM

oh yeah

2/26/2008 11:22:40 AM

lol

2/26/2008 11:33:33 AM

glad to hear the hillsborough st one is just moving.

and, awww CD Alley...

though it closed after i came to college, i was sad when CD Alley closed in Greenville. I used to go there every weekend, and sometimes during the week, in high school for hours on end.

ahttp://www...no more mocking you or tom snubbery for buying records that don't have their cred or seal of approval? I'll miss that record store elitism!

2/26/2008 12:31:45 PM

go find another record store, yuppie

2/26/2008 12:32:42 PM

whats a record store?

2/26/2008 1:00:27 PM

that's sad, but i guess it makes sense since my trips to chapel hill are really just for shows or to go to pepper's and cd alley

when i'm in raleigh i'll always go to schoolkids, so it'll probably be less of a pain in the ass if it's not on hillsborough anyway

2/26/2008 1:05:51 PM

i still miss the old hillsborough street location

i practically grew up in the place

2/26/2008 1:20:44 PM

yeah.

midnight sales and metal/blues upstairs ftw

that's where i discovered the soft bulletin

2/26/2008 1:40:02 PM

did anyone go to that weezer cd release party with the fantastic lemming back in the day?

quoted for truth...and turn down that goddamn obscure funk, emo faggots.

2/26/2008 1:50:58 PM

^ aww, you're still grumpy about that

2/26/2008 1:51:57 PM

Chapel Hill should have known that something was fucked up when the Gap couldn't stay open on Franklin. The spot has been empty for something like 4 years now.

2/26/2008 1:55:36 PM

i'm not grumpy about it, but i definitely still think it's funny.

and yeah. it sucks when any independent record store closes. shop at cd alley.

2/26/2008 1:57:48 PM

Of all the emo faggots in the world, rich is by far the emoest and the faggotiest.

2/26/2008 2:05:50 PM

posting on tww at work, EH JON?

2/26/2008 2:08:21 PM

spookyjon would know.

meet me in the back row during the 5:40 showing of juno.

2/26/2008 2:12:19 PM

there's a 5:15 showing of juno, and you'd better not do anything in the theater.

i can see everything from up here.

Me too. We'd go to Backdoor Skatepark all the time and always stopped at CD Alley too.

2/26/2008 4:58:18 PM

i miss the cd alley in greenville.


ahh, youth.

2/26/2008 6:22:09 PM

i bought my very first bootleg cd at the cd alley in greenville

2/26/2008 6:36:13 PM

the cd alley in wilmington is still open i think

2/26/2008 7:30:40 PM

yeah, it is

There should be some kind of projectionist "what I've seen from up there" thread.

2/26/2008 9:21:50 PM

I saw a dude straight up smoking in the front row of a movie one time from the projection room, I guess he thought that because he was alone it was cool.

Sorry that story sucked.

2/26/2008 9:25:39 PM

i just reread the entire "to the a-hole at schoolkids" thread.

2/26/2008 9:49:20 PM

^ That was a classic, wasn't it?

/message_topic.aspx?topic=492199&page=1

I hate to see anybody out of work, though. And I don't want any record stores to close--I was just looking for a little R-E-S-P-E-C-T on my B-day.

Why did it move in the first place? I miss my upstairs metal section.

When I was a kid it was one of the only places you could find Atari/Intellivision games.

Haha, the dude that worked there was flaming as shit and always walked around crazy because he had a cleft asshole. no joke.
