Not so social then.<BR/><BR/>And will the songs be downloaded direct to your iPod etc? I know from bitter experience what happens when trying to sync or upload a song from a machine other than the PC with my primary music library on it (i.e. it wipes it, depending on how it's set up). Potential disasters await...<BR/><BR/>Still, looking forward to trying not to trip over da kids when trying to locate the CD aisles.Spencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11043035917980747955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1930103.post-17127105090473245122009-01-05T14:34:00.000+00:002009-01-05T14:34:00.000+00:00Shhh!

Right now, Gennaro's probably researching his new role as Special Envoy to the Nation's Youth by skimming through hard-hitting teen dramas like Skins and Summer Holiday. In a few months they'll come up with a toe-curling 'Sunny D'-style nickname for the store which young hip cats will instantly take to using ("Yo dudes! Let's all hang ten at <I>The H!</I>", they'll say). It'll be just like a kicking youthclub!<BR/><BR/>And I'm sure the shareholders won't be so worried when they find out that those occasional 59p download purchases will be accompanieded by sales of 20p cups of Rola-Cola. Well worth clearing out all those boring old racks of CDs to make way for wipe-clean sofas.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1930103.post-70534356656577138202009-01-05T13:55:00.000+00:002009-01-05T13:55:00.000+00:00gennaro even granted me an interview during my uni...gennaro even granted me an interview during my university years, for an article about gnarles barkley going to number one digitally. he is a human quote machine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
