Ever since that day that the Virgin Megastore came through for me when I needed to buy "Krush Groove," a yoga DVD, and a Ramones poster within a half hour (true!), it's been nothin' but love.

I did notice a Santogold listening station that I didn't use on the way out.

The window displays are all about everything BUT music. before you could download everything at least it was a good place to get imports, which always seemed to be either hundreds of dollars or offered a boxed set for ten.

They could even politely nickname it "The Big Apple"

I have not been to a record store in oh, say, years. It's not by choice either. That Virgin Megastore, well, and Sephora, used to be one of my favorite ways to blow off work when I worked in Times Square. But why bother now? I download everything now. Downloading is the basis of today's political economy, wel, at least in the music industry.
