Music + video exchange in Notting Hill Gate is down to one shop. Don't get there often, who knows if it will still be there next time?
By this; did your daughter mean the human race in its entirety as in we should pass and make way for a new species?
If so then take a look at how long it takes for intelligence to develop and regard the passing of the human race as a terrible waste of knowledge and intellectual development.
To start again from scratch? Why not refine what we have and do the things we need to do to:
stabilise the planet
set the human race on a long cultural and developmental trajectory into the future?
Would not the individual be somewhat happier and more at peace (as opposed to the seemingly common angst we have today) to know they were part of a more decent and noble existence that had slewed off the backward thinking of past cultures and who's society cared for all it's members, not just the rich and the powerful?
Just a thought for your daughter to consider...
True, we will live or we will die, and there's not a damn thing you can do about it -- apart from the many things that determine whether you live or die.And don't worry, the planet will stabilise itself. And we will either adapt to it or go extinct. Just like every other species that has ever or will ever exist.

Records Shops may very well disappear. Quite possibly in our lifetime. Vinyl is not experiencing a resurgence in the mainstream. Some would like to think so, but is just barely becoming more prevalent in pockets of society.
That the shops have lasted this long, is something of a marvel itself. From what I hear and read about in the forums, there are a multiple of shops closing for each new one which arises.
It will be of interest to monitor those shops which opened in 2014 and how many are still in business the following year.

Proud to have been banned from Haggle for raising an eyebrow during one of the owners infamous rantsJust heard that Haggle Vinyl, Islington is closing. Never found anything in there but still sad, I s'pose.
We had Imperial Music in Inverness, but a combination of tough times and a rent hike meant the end of the road in April. There's a cryptic message of something to come on the webpage, but no more info. Mark is a lovely guy and I hope it comes good for him.

He certainly is the guy who used to be in Bristol, but he was 6 years in Inverness until now.
