Speaking of annoying marketing ploys... Last time I was in Tower Records here on South Street (hopefully _the_ last time I will set foot in said store), attempting to browse through the electronic section on the first floor. Unfortunatly, the continuous assault of bombastic alternagrungespeedmetalnoise over the club-style sound system made me run screaming for the second floor jazz/world section, hoping to hear some soothing Blue Note recordings. Instead, I was treated to a record of - wait for it - Teletubbies. Teletubby music. Teletubby narration. Teletubby giggles, gurgles, and squeaks. I never even knew what a Teletubby was, blissful in my ignorance, but after hearing this Teletubby orgy, I immediately abandoned the store, scowling at the employees on the way out. Needless to say, I bought no records there. Went to Digital Underground instead. 3
