.Another Mom-and-Pop Record Store Bites the Dust

Can’t say this is too surprising, but it’s sad nonetheless. El Cerrito cafe and record store 33 Revolutions closed its doors on Christmas Eve, citing the “challenging economy,” according to a message written by owners Dave and Taryn on their web site. The spacious store/cafe, which opened in Spring 2008, meshed a vinyl record store with the ambience of a cafe, and hosted live music as well. No word on what will happen to the space.
