Sound Station was my favorite record store when I lived in New Jersey. It’s where I bought my first records from Mr. Bungle, Clutch, The Misfits, Sepultura… even some stuff I kind of regret now- like that Fear Factory album and, ugh, my ska phase…
They’ve been in business since 1990(?), surviving competition from Sam Goody’s, Napster, and iTunes… until a fire burned down the entire store yesterday. Now the owners, Bob and Liz, need some help.
I was devastated by the news, and if understand why I’d be upset about a store I haven’t been to since 1996 maybe you’ll want to give Bob and Liz a few bucks to help them get back on their feet and, hopefully, re-open the store and influence a whole new generation…
