As I said, they've been moved to be more in-yer-face in line with modern retail torture, sorry, techniques

It is strange, isn't it, the Mutiny On The Buses thing? It's not like they're trying to attract a Mutiny On The Buses clientele, they just seem to be hoping that all the J. Spaceman fans are into Mutiny On The Buses as well.
Slap Her, She's French? Sounds worth a punt.

In fairness, they do have a fair smattering of "off-kilter" crap as well.

When did the bargain basement in Mr CD disappear? I used to find some good stuff in there occasionally. It's been 4 years since I was last working in central London, so it could have been ages ago. Was surprised to see Selectadisc gone and Sister Ray moved. Also surprised to see Reckless still there since the Camden & Islington branches shut down, figured they'd gone under or something.

I've never seen the point of collecting DVDs. You watch them once and put them back on the shelf.
The great thing about listening to music is that you can do other things at the time, e.g. reading or writing or cooking dinner. You can't do that with DVDs so that also puts me off them.

One way to watch "Rock and roll high school" for the seventh time without wearing the tape out.
It's the kids, Dawn, honest. They make me watch it.
(Srsly: While we had the weekend in Venice just gone, we returned home after "Aunty Mandy" had babysat, to find the R&RHS DVD on the table. "Umm, it's a bit adult, isn't it?")

Apparently:
AM: "You OK to watch this?"Amber: "Oh yeah, we watch this all the time."AM: "It's a bit rude, isn't it?"Amber: "Well, we don't actually repeat any of it, so it's OK"
See, Amber rules too.

WH Smiths only stock a handful of cds now,Woolies is shite. Asda probably stock more cds than them all put together. Never been in Sainsburys or the new Morrisons.
I'm surprised Asda have never moved into stocking lesser known niche genres. If they get a good reputation then people will go there. Of course that would kill off indie shops, but I doubt asda would care about that. And its not like an indie shop in Hamilton would last more than 3 months anyway.

Fans of Mr Bongo's Brazillian beats series might like to know that you can get 2 x 2CD boxes for £5 each. I wouldn't mind them.
Also Fopp in Covent Garden(ish) have bucked the trend, by giving over a load of DVD space to books. Or perhaps they've just moved them.

Our Price was always a horribly over priced shop though I remember when I got my first grant cheque as a student going and buying 4 or 5 Beatles albums on cassette out of there.

I bought it because I'd heard Bryce Curdy playing "Song For Che" on Radio Clyde the previous evening!

Also, Waitrose Movement for a fiver but I resisted.
£5 is the same price as 10 Bounty bars, plus 10p.
