Austin's 33 Degrees, a record store specializing in experimental, industrial, and otherwise underground music, is closing at the end of the month. I'm not as disapointed about this development as the closure of the Drag's Sound Exchange, but this leaves Waterloo the only independent record store in Austin that caters to my taste. Well, and Waterloo doesn't really cater to my taste - its just comprehensive. There, I have to climb over yuppies digging for Diana Krall's latest to grab CDs that cost two dollars more than they did in Philadelphia. Ive pasted the full text of the 33 Degrees announcement below.
It's a shame, but frankly, having seen the paucity of their stock and the high prices they had to charge, I'm amazed they stayed open this long.
Three cheers for labors of love! Their short time on this earth makes them all the more precious.
