Virgin Megastore Closing In Times Square

By Tini Thursday January 15, 2009

Sadly enough, the Virgin Megastore we all know in Times Square is closing in April only to be replaced by...Forever 21!!! I’m excited about the new Forever 21 and I pray it won’t be as tacky as the one on 34th street. Hopefully this one will be a lot bigger and organized. I am a bit sad about the Virgin Megastore getting shut down as a result of everyone downloading music. As of April, the Virgin store on Union Square will be the last Manhattan outpost of a large music chain.

I believe they were refused a new lease…I don’t think it has to do with downloads…but its still sad…been there since I was in middle school…

This is so serious. I might just write my own blog about it @ FDL but it’s sad that the art form is being reduced to just a download. (David Banner was right)

I remember when I bought Nas “It Was Written” tape because the album lyrics were printed inside the tape cover.

And …
Do ya’ll remember Raekwon’s Cuban Linx album aka The Purple Tape? What about Kanye Love Lockdown cd art dedicated to his moms?

I used to look forward to buying albums so that I could see the lyrics and the pictures inside the sleeve. Now, I can’t even remember the last album I bought. I think it was MIA’s “Kala” LOL
