calimacBeing in the area, I stopped by the Mountain View Tower to see what the closing sale discount is up to now. All CDs and books are $3 or less; DVDs are 80% off. The word from the staff was that tomorrow is the last day.
The pop/rock music section, condensed up, still occupies both sides of two aisles. I slowly walked along all four rows of trays and saw only one performer name that I recognized. (A few false alarms, though. No, Cowboy Mouth is not Cowboy Junkies; Stills is not Stephen Stills; and Jesse McCartney is not Paul McCartney.)
The classical section was down to, literally, no more than 150 CDs scattered pathetically around a few trays. Mostly obscure new music. I looked at them all, literally, and the only full discs whose composers' names I recognized were one each by George Benjamin, Stanislaw Moniuszko, and Osvaldo Golijov.
Still lots of copies of Joe Montana's motivational video on DVD, though. Get 'em while they're hot.

They're a band from New Orleans and have been around for a while. I listened to part of one CD and it was OK. Once I have more time, I'll listen to both of them.
