And in the malls, if all else fails, there was Sam Goody/Musicland.ĭuring the CD boom years, Relics was the place to hang out. At that time, CR boasted 10 decent music stores, Co Op even had a place at Town & Country.
But for the most part, my second home was Relics by Collins/1st Avenue, later became a good friend of Bruce Stanley on the other Relics store close to downtown CR. At that time Camelot was getting cutouts from Warner Music Group to which was the easiest way of getting Roxy Music, all but two of their albums came from the cutouts. But in the cutouts at Camelot I came across stuff from The Raindogs, and brought Border Drive In Theater simply of cool name. Disc Jockey and Camelot was also up in Waterloo at the Crossroads Mall. I was listening to more new music but in the form of cutouts at Camelot Music, back when they had music stores in the malls. Flannel rock from Pearl Jam and the punk rock railings of Nirvana although I have to say I didn't get into their music all that much. At that time, I was still into the classic rock format but was beginning to hear the upstarts known as Grunge, the Seattle sound. And for the first few years I worked as a part part timer, which means I got to man the cash register while Jerry or Erin or Carol went to the bathroom. Memories.Īt that point in my life, I was working and hanging out at a music store called Relics in Cedar Rapids which opened in 1990 when Jerry Scott decided to break away from Jim Henson and Rock n Bach and opened his own music store. I remember Ben Sidran doing a jazz show on VH1 for a few years and seeing Enya on it. Downtown Julie Brown's pop disco show which the cool people were bump and grinding to somewhat listenable music and Headbangers Ball and 120 Minutes still a part of the programming.
Prior before this decade I had a good memory of what was going on in the music world, MTV was still playing videos but moving toward the reality garbage they are now today.
