Haven't bothered with this thread since the other day, but it's nice to see that Branson agrees with me after all: "Freedom of speech, freedom of choice and tolerance for differing views are the core principles of any free and open society - so we have decided to reconsider our people's...

I'm well aware of the sort of things the Daily Mail says thanks. That's because I keep being told about them by people like you. Continiually. What seems to completely escape you is that it's a commercial publication that millions of people buy and read of their own volition. Nobody forces...

Oooh what a thoroughly original reply. Someone disagrees with your viewpoint so you make a Zazi association. Nobody's ever done that before.

I've never bought a copy of the Daily Mail and I have rarely even looked at it, but the hateful, pompous sanctimony of this thread makes me want to go and subscribe to it. As if all the media aren't just as biased and dishonest as the Daily Mail ffs. It's the behaviour of the entire media that...

Good read that. I use Deezer for discovering new music and try before you buy listening, mainly just through brand loyalty. I used to use Spotify but don't like the interface. Will definitely think twice before using it again. What she doesn't mention there is the scandal a while back of them...

Funny enough I took two copies of that exact album back to Piccadilly Records because it was badly pressed with some horrible scratchy noises on one side. Looks like you got lucky.

Again, you seem to conflate my right to an opinion on whether other people like her album or not. The 'nothing' I was offended by was her inference that all men are sexual abusers. If you don't care about that then that's fine, just as I'm not bothered by Morrissey's opinions. You can love...

Wasn't a comment on her album, I haven't listened to it. Don't really see what write ups of her album have to do with whether I find some of her views offensive either.

She has some very derogatory things to say about men. Can't be bothered listening to her for that reason.

I have also had this experience with What Records. They have a very relaxed attitude to despatch times, and he sounds genuinely surprised when you phone up to ask where your order is. :) He's a decent and genuine bloke though, and I can accept a bit of Carribean style service from a small...

That is a good point. A lot of the kids buying vinyl have no idea how little value they are getting from it when they are using crappy supermarket record players. If they are at all bothered about sound quality (although, as we know, vinyl isn't always just about that) they would be better off...

Good post. People who say there is no good music being made anymore have never taken any time to get familiar with Rough Trade or Piccadilly. I was in London the other day and I had a look through Rough Trade's sale racks - there wasn't a single album I was familiar with, and I am reasonably in...

I also spend too much time in Manchester record shops, and I often wonder if it is really worth spending the money I spend. I keep telling myself to limit purchases to records that I really like and will definitely play a lot, but it never seems to happen. I've made a NY resolution to limit...

I still think Fear Fun is his best album. I think Pure Comedy is a bit self indulgent.
