R.I.P. Rasputins on Powell

[CityDog]

Weak as fuck. Thats the spot I pick up my albums. Also see whats new out. Its hard out there for a rapper.

 

[Fruitvale_Mac]

Wait forreal? I was just there about two weeks ago.

 

[JackArtist510]

damn that sucks.. i still go to the san lorenzo one and the sorta new one inside newpark mall.

 

[dimihyphy]

That sucks. I remember picking up a bunch of hard-to-find C-Bo albums there when on holiday in San Francisco. What happened?

 

[JackArtist510]

my guess is either:

a) lost business cuz most people went digital for music and movies

or b) rich people bought out their land/building.

It's 2016 man. The romance of record stores has faded away and it really sucks. I can't tell you the last physical CD I purchased. I can't even remember the last time I burned a CD or used a CD in the car. Right now I see one of my favorite artists post something to Instagram and I open my Google Music app and download the album right to my phone and bump it via bluetooth or chromecast. Times have changed.

Damn I hope the Fairfield one isn't going anywhere

 

[OuijaBoard]

I used to live at the Warehouse in Concord on Willow Pass Road. There was a time where you could bring any cd in the store to a listening station and preview the whole thing. They also had a super lenient return policy for a while and you could return open cd's for a full refund. I'd just put the cd onto a cassette and take it back

remember when it was all about having a "mini component system"

I used to have something like this

 

[clutch city kid]

i cant even front, iam old school i still prefer CDs over digital media.... i like having a physical copy of stuff on hand

 

[Hood Rat Matt]

I miss cover art. Lyrics were so cool to have inside the cd booklet. I used to even read the shoutouts. The good old days damnit

 

[Since_da_80z]

There ain't even nothing worth buying now a days !!

 

[SF TRAXX]

Terrible situation. Back in the day Rasputin's was my "go to" spot for throwback VHS tapes. LMAO! I used to smash out to the east bay one because of the better selection.

haha - reading out shoutouts was a must!

 

[ItAintFunOutHer]

I still got a book fulla CDs. Sometimes i don't got time to make a playlist so i pop a CD in the whip and crank it up, windows down. Just yesterday i threw in my original E40 In A Major Way, and let it play all the way thru. And it felt damn good. Fuck digital.

The rent on that real estate must be crazy high....I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did...Unfortunate to hear its shutting down tho..
