For those of you not on twitter Catriona had a guy in the shop today who looked just like Ryan Adams. When Ryan Hannigan the singer with Avalanche favourites Star Wheel Press popped in with more CDs on his way to the Ryan Adams gig it dawned on Catriona that it had indeed been Ryan […]
After a tweet by our friends at Spillers in Cardiff I checked out the new top 10 albums. It looks bad enough but having Tom Waits at 10 puts it all in context. The Top 10 UK albums this week are: 1. Coldplay – ‘Mylo Xyloto’ 2. Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds […]

He says: “We’re in the twilight of the physical world. “But we haven’t segued into the digital realm comfortably. “I think the advent of copyright afforded an unprecedented explosion […]

In fact I just google the phrase “record shops” and sometimes “record stores” and look under news twice a week.
