For those that don't wish to rest in peace, someone has invented a coffin that plays music on a loop for the afterlife. The tracks can even be updated by your friends and relatives.

Use it or lose it - but it seems it is too late! Yet, another hole in the high street. Although I buy most CDs online, I also like to visit and buy from HMV.

Again, very sad. The first store opened in Oxford Street, and this link contains some very nostalgic images

I did hear that independent specialist records shops are opening in the US, that appeal to a niche market. Also, Bob Dylan has released just 100 copies of his new album, which have been hidden in specialist collectors' record shops. This is a great ploy to attract people back into these shops.

What Are You Listening To Now? 9th January 2013 10:39 AM

What do you all think of The Dame's new single? On first viewing, I found the video a little scary, but it's great to know that the chameleon of rock and pop can still surprise us after all these years.

I'm looking forward to the album.

I've heard it will happen at 11.15am, but is that GMT or what? Apparently, the only place we can hope to survive is in a small village in France, where the aliens are ready to save us all
