[NewMusic] Tower Records epilogue

[Alan Anzalone]

I went to the Emeryville store, pickings were very slim but I found a  
Flying Luttenbachers and Mujician cd and a handful of DVDs, including  
The Prefab People by Bela Tarr, great 1960's Hungarian social  
realism, The Heart is Deceitful Above all Things, from the JT LeRoy  
book, directed and starring Asia Argento, daughter of Dario Argento,  
and Borsalino et Cie, with Alain Delon.
