Spire Records

Spire Records is one of the central locations in Rhythm. The name is a dedication to the Tower Records music store chain, in operation from 1960 to 2006. 'Spire' was chosen as a synonym to 'Tower', as well as a nod to the author's addiction to a popular indy game, 'Slay the Spire'.

Spire Records is situated next to the Body 24 in one of Westfield's major strip malls. Lucas held down a part time job there while attending high school, and as part of his emancipation agreement, increased his hours to full time shortly after graduation.

Spire was not only an excellent source of music for Lucas and Izadore, it was also the work place of his first romantic interest, Christine. In fact, his first sexual encounter with Christine took place in Spire Records' warehouse, much to Lucky's surprise.
