London Indie Cd stores
Kai:
Exactly.
In other news, as much as I hate to say it, Borders has a fairly good CD collection. Can anyone say fucking Crotchduster?
nescience:
Go to Rough Trade so you can say you've been to Rough Trade. The selection isn't bad either.

--- Quote from: tommydski ---i know what you mean. i don't support indie stores that have stupidly high prices obviously. even i will go to a chain eventually if i can't find it in an indie.
however, if you go to a megastore you will miss out on an essential part of every young punks life - having a crush on the older hot chick that works at the independent record store. *sigh*

ahh been there.

I shop at HMV and Virgin at Bluewater. Shopping to support the indie stores is a nice idea, but there's a reason they smell and are only open 4 hours a day.
It's because they're crap.

--- Quote from: KharBevNor ---The Virgin Megastore in London is insane. I almost cried with joy upon entering it. It had seperate sections for hardcore, nu-metal, goth and metal, ALL WITH THE CORRECT BANDS IN THEM. The metal section was absolutely incredible...I could have spent easily £1000 there.

Was it quite a while ago you went there? Because that sounds like what I remember their downstairs used to be like. They turned that into a musical instruments and equipment store a couple of years ago.
Although I just realised you never mentioned the Oxford St one specficially, but that tends to be the one people refer to. Either way, the Oxford St one really is awful, shit range, shit prices.
Oxford St HMV and a few of the little ones down Berwick St (side street roughly opposite HMV) like Sister Ray, Reckless Records and Music/Video Exchange are all pretty decent places to buy records.
