First off, Hello.
About 3 months ago I moved to London with some friends of mine and I'm really enjoying it so far.
Currently we're using a laptop connected to a nice sound system to play all our music. The thing is that I've always been the kind of person that finds enjoyment in owning the actual CD's, rather than have all your favourites downloaded to a computer.
I'm originally from the north of Sweden, and if you manage to maintain a record collection there without a job or any kind of store to go to, I will personally come and high five you, but, now that I'm in London I thought I might start the collection of real records I always secretly dreamed about.
The problem is that I'm pretty lost in where to go, I've already developed a serious dislike for hmv
The only nice place I've visited so far is the rough trade near brick lane.
So any tips on where to go would be welcome, both for record shoping and just to hang out.
