What's the name of that one not too far from Archway Road and near Angel market?It's at the very end of the street.

ah, ok. it doesn't really matter because i spent more than enough cash that month anyway... with atp, london and state x new forms. and there's always a next time indeed.

nefeli needs to get back too to get those (white or silver?) boots... also, i'm sure it wasn't the clothes being xxxxlarge, but you being xxxxsmall, greekster!

I spent a couple of hours around Notting Hill yesterday, and two things worth highlighting:

i) Rough Trade's Japanese section is probably the best I've ever seen it.
ii) Music and Video Exchange has about a dozen Current 93 titles to choose from at the moment, almost all around the £10-£12 mark.

sister ray is a good one, dont know if its been mentioned. went there and picked up some very nice stuff and could have spent a fortune.

reckless is still having its closing down sale, they've got tonnes of stock left and are gradually putting it all out

where is rekless? is it near to sister ray? i walked past and they seemed to be closed up completely but i might have been in the wrong place.

There were two branches of Reckless. One (the old rock one) has closed down, the other (the dance one) is now the only one, and, yes, is a few doors down from what was Selectadisc and is now Sister Ray.

yeah, and the one that is still open has stock from both shops. i've been buying up dancehall 7s like there's no tomorrow.

SecondLayer opens its store in the Sound 323 basement on July 21st.

covent garden rough trade is having a closing down sale, and disque in islington closed a couple of weeks ago

Bloody hell! Do you know if that's for financial reasons or because they're opening the new branch in Brick Lane?

although i reckon they're skating on thin ice with that new shop

Any good stuff? How much is stuff reduced by?

i haven't been, porkmarras told me. no money for such things at the moment anyway.

I don't think that it was me who told you that. I didn't know that Disque are closing down too, it's all going crazy.

it seems to be going nutso with all these places closing.

It's t'internet, you know.

That and the fact that in the future all albums will be released free of charge with the Mail on Sunday.
