The Virgin Megastores in LA and NYC will be shutting down early next year, according to Variety. Not surprising given that holiday CD sales were down 18% from last year.  Meanwhile, the folks over at Torrent site The Pirate Bay are having a banner year, doubling their traffic and getting themselves new and improved hardware to better serve up free movies and music to people smart enough to know what Torrents are and how to use them. Which isn’t me. I guess when all the music stores close I’ll be forces to figure out how to use that shit, but for now, I’ll keep buying my CDs at Tower…I mean…Virgin Megastore LA…uh, I mean…The Wherehouse….fuck!
