I think it seems like a great idea but I was disappointed to read this laziness in the middle:<br /><br />"Berwick Street and the surrounding area has always been very well known for its independent record shops... however many have now closed due to the emergence of digital downloading."<br /><br />When did this become the stock excuse for even a respectable outlet like Domino? Or is it just that simplistic thinking has taken over and everyone now needs everything to be black and white and have a single reason for something to happen rather than contributions from lots of places - in this case, to pick only a few of the reasons, high street chains (well.. at one point anyway), supermarkets and online shops for both new products and second hand items that a lot of these places sold. In fact, I think that the last Domino record I bought was the Wyatt/Atzmon/Stephen album from Domino's own online shop! Now that I think about it, isn't a market for labels another possible way of killing the independent record shop?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1930103.post-39003869785714093692011-05-19T06:06:46.632+00:002011-05-19T06:06:46.632+00:00Hey thanks for the head up. waiting for it.Hey thanks for the head up. waiting for it.Nightclub DJhttp://www.djmegha.com/media/media.htmlnoreply@blogger.com
