<<As you say, In Your Ear on Comm Ave is still going strong, although it's
getting more and more annoying to shop in that store because it's just
getting slowly filled to the ceiling with crap. You can't even walk down
the aisles anymore due to the cardboard boxes of CDs in the middle of them.
You just have to inch along. They still have the best jazz vinyl
selection in town, though.>>
This is probably because In Your Ear's large-format store on Thayer Street
in Providence closed in April. It was very sad because that In Your Ear was a
major part of my indie record store experience in high school, and it was by
far the largest indie store in Providence. There was an article in the
Providence Journal just last week talking about how there's only one record store
left on Thayer Street--which is the Brown University/RISD neighborhood, and it
used to boast something like 5 record stores--and in interviews with the
owner he said he's not planning on being open another year. Very sad.
But anyway, In Your Ear probably shipped a lot of what was left to the
stores in Boston, Cambridge, and Barrington. --Jason
