Re: Support your local Music Shops!!!

Out of interest would you say it's easier to buy online? How does it compare on price?

I don't know how it is in the USA but certainly in the UK we are loosing specialist shops as owners can't compete with the prices of big online retailers selling way below RRP. Selling only to a local area and ...

Re: Support your local Music Shops!!!

Well it depends on your views and where online you are buying!

Personally i want to be able to visit a shop a browse the CD's. I want to be able to get signed posters because the artist has been to the shop. I want to talk about music and get recommendations from the shop staff.

I don't want to ...

Re: Last movie you watched?

Little Fockers Not as funny as Meet the Fockers, I'd wait until it's available to rent instead of going to the cinema.

Gulliver's Travels Funny, everything you'd expect from Jack Black in a family movie. With all the comedians i expected it to be side splitting but it wasn't that funny though.

Re: Last movie you watched?

We just finished the 2nd series of Twin Peaks so it was finally time to watch the prequel movie to the series 'Fire Walk With Me'.

David Lynch is a very strange person! Was really let down by the second half of season 2 and the movie jut added imagery to the info you learn in the series so a bit of ...

Re: Secret Show December 18, 2010

Bizarrely Emma is the shyer one of the 2 of us but when it comes to favourite musicians she is very bold!

I hadn't even thought of sticking around to say hello but how many chances do you get?
On the drive back we were thinking of what we could have said to Polly. I think we got the right mix of ...

Re: Secret Show December 18, 2010

At the end of the gig Me & Olly stood by the front of the church and I spoke to one of the band members to get the set list and then we just waited for her to come out. Olly talked to one of the guys who was putting her guitars away and had a good nosey at the instruments. She came out and was ...

Re: Secret Show December 18, 2010

Me & Olly just got back from a secret PJ Harvey gig in her home town. I did make a post about it a while ago, but Olly asked me to delete it because it could've been found out. One of the best gigs I've ever been to, 200 people in a church. I got to talk to PJ, thank her for her music, get a pic ...

Support your local music shop (if you have one!)

I travel around the south of England visiting Music Shops for work. In the last 5 years i have seen more victims of rising rent costs and falling profit margins.

Yes we all like a bargain buying online but with instruments you should also try ...
