Stop scouring our land and go stateside instead. £13.50 + £1.85 postage on Amazon US brand new.
Oh, you gem. I gotta get this soon...
Found this on UK Amazon for £15 the other day...snapped that up pretty quickly.
Also got Pearl Jam's "Ten", Editors' "An End Has A Start" and John Frusciante's "The Empyrean" on the way...

Yeah, I'm into that retro-future music quite a lot lately. Here's another one that takes me waaaay back.

I went on the internet the other day and I found this.
It's actually pretty good for what is essentially a parody/redub.

I went to HMV today, and bought the following:
Amok - Atoms For Peace
Hail to the Thief - Radiohead
Era Vulgaris - QOTSA
Lost Sirens - New Order
RHCP T-Shirt
...all for £14. Closing sales are brilliant.

Very good album, particularly 2+2=5 and Myxomatosis

They're also extremely sad. Seeing the big empty shop where HMV used to be on Grafton Street, Dublin city centre's main shopping street, gets me down when passing it every day. I'd trade a few good deals (which we didn't even get here, as they all closed overnight) for having the shop back.
On another note, I'm listening to the new Bowie album right now (got it in the one remaining record shop in Dublin after HMV's closure!) - it's good, but I wouldn't say it quite merits the hype its received from reviewers. Maybe it's a grower, I'd say it's more just those reviewers being reverential to a man who I guess has earned such treatment.

I think I've gutted the Hatfield HMV now of all the stuff I like. Picked up:
Vitalogy - Pearl Jam
Nevermind - Nirvana
Violator - Depeche Mode
Also got a couple of books, The Damned Utd by David Peace and Ham on Rye by Charles Bukowski.
Seeing as there's very little good stuff left, I can't justify another trip there...

Weirdly enough, Norwich has two HMVs and, to the best of my knowledge, neither are closing down. That said, I've also taken advantage of the sales over the last few weeks when I've been in the city.
I' bought:
Ash - Free All Angels
Amy Macdonald - A Curious Thing
Editors - The Back Room
Editors - An End Has A Start (very weird coincidence there
)
The Black Keys - Brothers
Miles Kane - The Colour Of The Trap
Also bought the new Kate Nash and Stereophonics albums over the weekend. Both were fantastic.

I know, it really is a shame, as HMV is one of the few shops I visited regularly. Its even more of a pain in the arse now that the online store is gone, yet they're still advertising stuff I want on TV

It was announced today, that former Iron Maiden drummer Clive Burr died last night. He'd been racked with MS for 12 years, and even though he'd left the band in 1982, they never forgot him and came to his aid when his illness put him in financial trouble. In 2002 there were a series of gigs intended to raise money for Clive and for MS research. He appeared on stage to hand out some drumsticks and for Bruce to give us a warm thanks on his behalf. I was there at Brixton Academy on the third night, when this was filmed.
Later in the year I actually met him when the Ruskin Arms, Iron Maiden's "home" pub in the 1970s, held a whole day of celebrations for their most famous one-time-residents. Clive agreed to sign absolutely anything we'd want signed, even though it was obvious he was struggling horribly with his MS that day - he wasn't going to let it get him down. Paul Di'Anno, on the other hand, who was also there signing copies of his "I was in the nick in America, innit!" autobiography, had clearly drunk his own weight in Stella and was acting like a complete wally.
In memory of a thoroughly bloody nice bloke who also happened to be a fine drummer, here's an entire gig from 1982.

Looks like I'm the only advocate of Dance, House and Electronic on this forum!
Just because it's mainstream, doesn't mean it's no good!
Early Prodigy kicks ass...

If it's electronic you want, it's electronic you'll get.
Squarepusher - Arterial Fantasy
Aphex Twin - Carn Marth
John Frusciante - Mistakes
Autechre - Montreal
(these kind fit in as well...)
Atoms For Peace - Default
Flea - 333 (it's a mixture of ambient jazz and electronic)

How the hell can anyone enjoy the utter tripe that is modern indie music? I am referring especially to Bastille, whom I have adverts for constantly whenever I listen to Spotify. My god, their music sounds like a cat being strangled and then shoved through a grinder. Absolutely intolerable, I don't mind adverts usually but I just cannot stand their intolerable rubbish.

Agree with you there - Bastille are bloody awful.

You have to wonder what is wrong with Spotify's adveritising algorithm - it's a bit hit and miss. Half the time I have adverts for Sky Sports F1 HD (good work algorithm, you're finally offering me something relevant to my interests!), and the other half is this Bastille crap (oh dear Spotify, what are you doing? I've never listened to single indie song on your app EVER. If you want to offer me music, offer me dance, or house, or electronic, or even classic rock, but not indie nonsense like Bastille).
