how do you buy your music

[Reverend Joshua Sloane]

I try buying it with charm but they only accept money for some reason.

[no]

I supported my local hipster music shack since my early teens, and one day they turned into a coffee shop and proud home of the "Robert Fripp-uccino."

I miss the dollar bin LPs.

Alan, ever been to Fopp? Excellent prices, loads and loads of classics for a fiver (used to work there).

Yes Indeedy, was in the Camden one over Xmas and was gob-smacked. Ended up buying all sorts of stuff - No Depression (£5), Weld (double! for a fiver!) and a few films - Rumblefish for £3, Vertigo for £5. So good I went back just after xmas and bought some more. HARD shop to walk out of empty handed. (cue more sniggering yank jokes about the name.....)

Snigger, no.  But I would like to jigger and yank a fobb.

Besides, I can't help it if you people flaunt this stuff, what with your Absolutely Fobbulous, dahling.

FOPP. (not fobb). Tis a very silly name I agree, but can't fault the prices! It's also nice to have a shop that prices things at £5 rather than £4.99. What the hell am I going to do with that penny anyway.

And just to show we aren't making all this up....

In Toronto you cant beat Vortex Records (Eglinton & Yonge) or Harmony Records (Eglinton & Mt Pleasant)...great selection of used CD's, vinyl and DVD's etc.....

I know, I cannot walk past it. There's one in my town, I can spend hours in there. Am gradually building my Woody Allen DVD collection thanks to the £5 deals.

(I'm in west London)
New populist stuff I get in Fopp or Selectadisc/Sister Ray. Or wait til the megastore sales.
New obscurist stuff I get in Rough Trade Portobello.
Reissues I get in Minus Zero/Stand Out. What a fantastic shop, probably the best of its kind in London.
Rare vinyl I get on ebay/gemm/at record fairs/charity shops/Record & Tape exchange.

Harvey - what is Minus Zero/Stand Out? Not heard of that - I keep forgetting about the excellent Rough Trade shop (yes, cue more sniggering yanks... we also have shops called Virgin of course, and HMV actually means...no...won't go there) in Neals Yard and forgetting to go there unless my wife is searching for health stuff around there.

FOPP is a song from the album HONEY by the Ohio Player's.
