| _______________________________________ [Jan 4,2009 12:23pm - thebloodening ""] ya i got pee wees playhouse box set, viva la bam, wild boys a all for 6 bucks each...sweet. |
| _________________________________ [Jan 4,2009 12:25pm - Martins ""] Yeah I thought they already did years ago until I went there to get Palladium tickets with Grant. They're a pretty shitty company. |
| __________________________________________ [Jan 4,2009 12:41pm - MillenialKingdom ""] I'm glad. They charge like $18-19 for a CD. I only buy CDs at Bullmoose and Newbury Comics anyway. |
| ________________________________________ [Jan 4,2009 12:59pm - anon is mouse ""] is this all of them or just selected stores? |
| __________________________________ [Jan 4,2009 1:01pm - fishcakes ""] fuck that place! major rip off |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 4,2009 1:42pm - joeyumbrella ""] yes! |
| _____________________________ [Jan 4,2009 3:15pm - Lamp ""] Hopefully the owners of this store run out of life next. |

| ________________________________ [Jan 5,2009 8:49am - c.DeAD ""] First they buy out Strawberries, Coconuts, Sam Goody, The Wall and any other music chain, then they go. Not very surprising, they were by far the worst. |

| _______________________________ [Jan 5,2009 9:16am - xmikex ""] When you were a little nurler buying Morbid Angel cds with Strawberries gift certificates did you ever think you'd live to see the day when over priced mega chain music stores were an out dated concept? |
| __________________________________ [Jan 5,2009 9:19am - dreadkill ""] anyone who went there to buy anything other than concert tickets does not know how to manage their money. |

The humanity. I actually did use those certificates for Repulsion and Sadus tapes. Also Aphex Twin "I care because you do" from a gift card I stole from my friend. Im going to hell. |
| ___________________________________ [Jan 5,2009 10:05am - dreadkill ""] what's a nurler? i don't think i've heard that term before. |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 5,2009 10:11am - arilliusbm ""] good. any place that sells cds for 19.99 is retarded. Anyone remember "The Wall" ? Pre-FYE |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 5,2009 10:20am - inject-now ""] The Wall sucked but when I was 12 I got Possessed "Beyond The Gates" there on tape. It was an important day in my childhood. |
| ___________________________________ [Jan 5,2009 10:22am - dreadkill ""] i worked at the wall at the burlington mall back in the day. it was a very corrupt place. |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 5,2009 10:25am - arilliusbm ""] I swallowed some XXX hotsauce at the Taunton mall one day and puked some of it up in the Wall there. I guess there was a hole in the carpet there for a few years.. not sure if it's still there with the current FYE |

| ___________________________________ [Jan 5,2009 10:32am - dreadkill ""] stealing was common at that store. |
| ___________________________________ [Jan 5,2009 10:33am - dreadkill ""] most of us should've been fired from that store. |
| ______________________________ [Jan 5,2009 10:37am - Yeti ""] good. what a fucking ripoff this place is/was. they did have a surprisingly good metal selection, so i would go and listen to something on the sample machine they had, then go buy it at Newbury Comics. |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 5,2009 10:40am - arilliusbm ""] Newbury Comics has been a hit or miss lately for me. Some of them have a great metal selection, and some don't have jack. I went to the one in Avon last week (huge one for that matter) and they didn't have shit. They didn't even have much of ambient music in their selection; I couldn't even find Brian Eno or Tangerine Dream. |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 5,2009 11:14am - orgymf@work ""] hey wait....are all stores doing blowout/out of business sales?? there is one in the north attleboro mall, could be time for some cheap dvd's |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 5,2009 11:44am - shatteredliz ""] Um, I haven't heard about this. They're probably closing some stores, but that's about it for now. |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 5,2009 11:58am - xanonymousx ""] its even on their website, this place is done. |
| _______________________________ [Jan 5,2009 12:02pm - aril ""] I think it's safe to say that this is one good thing about the economy going bad. |
| ___________________________________________ [Jan 5,2009 12:04pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] ONLY NEWBURY COMICS IS REAL. |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 5,2009 12:05pm - shatteredliz ""] Where does it say it on their Web site? |

Aside from anything metal related, It's not guaranteed to find anything worth buying. I lucked out a little while back finding the latest lustmord release, that was the last time I walked out of there 100% satisfied. |
| _______________________________ [Jan 5,2009 12:23pm - aril ""] Newbury Comics well selling Dawn - Slaughtersun for 35 bucks, but it was ONLINE. My friend got that immediately. That was the last good thing I've heard about it. |

| ______________________________________ [Jan 5,2009 12:54pm - shatteredliz ""] Yes, they're closing stores, not going out of business. xanonymousx said:http://albany.bizjournals.com/albany/stories/2007/12/24/daily8.html Trans World Entertainment Corp. expects to close about 130 stores over the next few weeks, including the Coconuts outlet at Stuyvesant Plaza in Guilderland, N.Y., a company official said. "We're constantly reviewing our store portfolio," said John Sullivan, chief financial officer. "With all of these the leases are expiring. Most are underperforming stores." The closures will leave Trans World with about 830 stores, most of which operate under the brand name f.y.e. (For Your Entertainment). Trans World closed a similar number of stores at the end of 2006, Sullivan said. |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 5,2009 12:54pm - shatteredliz ""] WAIT! That's from December 2007! Haha! |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 5,2009 12:58pm - xanonymousx ""] oops lol |
| _______________________________________ [Jan 5,2009 12:59pm - boblovesmusic ""] the FYE in Novi, Michigan (random I know) was actually pretty good. I found a bunch of decent stuff that I wasn't expecting to find (Eldritch being one of them). The Newbury Comics in Harvard Square eats my money like nobody's business (pun intended kinda hehe). Leafing through that place is so much fun cus you can find all sorts of random things. I found a Lebanese anti-islamic black metal band there which I was really surprised to find as well as Archaeon (though no surprise there hehe). |
| ___________________________________ [Jan 5,2009 1:29pm - arilliusbm ""] I remember hearing about some anti-islamic bands from the middle east. There was this one band that FMP was scoping out and everyone was giving him shit because his he still claimed to be a member of islam. he only did it because he was "risking his life" for black metal and called everyone else pussies. can't remember the band, though. it's blew chunks. |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 5,2009 2:59pm - boblovesmusic ""] The band I picked up was Ayat. I had their EP before which I love. Insane band. Incredibly noisy black metal at parts, some middle eastern touches here and there. |

| _________________________________ [Jan 5,2009 5:50pm - dertoxia ""] FYE bought up a shit ton of Coconuts stores in the Albany area and then either shut them down....or turned them into an FYE store. And then since then probably half of those have closed. FYE has been making statements for years about them closing stores. If you google "FYE Closing" you'll get hundreds of hits from different newspapers around the country talking about different FYE's closing over the past 2 years. |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 24,2009 2:56pm - anonymous ""] This is all what you do is talk shit!you people have no lifes,Start working for once and stop being stupid!!! |
