i think its an ace idea!
fopp IS the greatest shop on byres road after all. jamie and i used to spend many a saturday afternoon wandering aimlessly around its isles, perusing random CDs and looking in interesting books! shortly after which we would go to somerfield and i would spend eight hours trying to choose a red pepper or a green pepper and end up buying a yellow peppper - much to jamie's dismay!
oh those were the good old days.
i am sad that fopp wont be there when i return from my eastern asian adventure.
also, i think people should lighten the fuck up and stop being dicks 
that will be all!
enjoy the vigil | |

Or Kwik Save?

I'd attend a vigil for the University Cafe.
Never seen a student in there in my life, ironically. | |

Does anyone know if there's anywhere in Glasgow that'll repair gayometers? Mine just started making this really high-pitched buzzing noise and now there's springs and broken glass all over the shop.

Echo sold me comics and ordered obscure industrial releases for me. Fopp probably played no small part in putting them out of business. | |

legend has it that Fopp started out in the spot in Decourceys where lost in Music now resides. | |
