Horrible news. HMV hold an important position on the high street for our industry & play a key role in keeping physical retail alive in the UK.
People talk as if we’d be pleased about their struggles. Couldn’t be further from the truth. We all need each other, now more than ever.
EXCLUSIVE: HMV, Britain’s biggest high street music retailer, is on the brink of collapsing into administration for the second time in six years; move will put 2200 jobs at risk, and could see KPMG confirmed as administrator later today.

Disappointed to read such snobby, ill-informed & poorly edited writing.
Aside from the lack of fact checking, how can you be a “novice” music fan? Are there grades that you progress through? From “entry level” chart CD buyer to “expert” dusty vinyl crate digger - seriously??

Just got stopped at the garage. Guy takes his headphones off to talk to me. I’m wary / suspicious.
“You own Resident, right?”
“Er, yes. Yes I do.” (Oh shit. What did we fuck up?)
“Respect. Keep up the good work. Can’t wait for the Alex G instore. Bye”.
I nearly cried.

MIMI💔
Utterly utterly broken to hear the devastating news.
Can’t think of another act that have mattered more to us than Low & barely a day goes by when they aren’t referenced or played.
Mimi’s memory will live with us. Always. So privileged to have her music in our lives.
Earlier this year Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams surprise-released her 2nd record 'Flowers For Vases / Descandos' & we all lost our collective minds! 🥰
We've been eagerly waiting for the physical release to come in, & ugh does it look lovely!
💐
We're absolutely loving BEN HOWARD'S 'Noonday Dream', which made our Album Of The Week pick! The soundscapes that he creates are simply breath-taking - sublime!

3 times this week I’ve heard people saying they don’t go into Brighton anymore to shop, as the parking is so expensive.
@BrightonHoveCC
- this REALLY needs addressing. It’s not just rent & rates crippling local businesses. It’s people not even coming into town.

Paint dry.
Doors open.
Racks full.
Stereo on.
Coffee drunk.
Sun out.
We’re all ready to be a proper shop again.
Looking forward to seeing you in person soon.
