I still miss Tower's PULSE freebie magazine which stopped publication a 
few yrs ago. It was a treat I always picked up when in Seattle. After 
they stopped the mag I never bothered stepping foot into their Seattle 
shop on the University Blvd with good ol' Cellophane Square, oops 
"Django's" and a few other smaller music shops nearby there wasn't any 
reason to visit.
