Cantankerous 08.04.2006 08:09 AM

i didn't see anything AT the globe theatre, but i saw the building.

Toilet & Bowels 08.04.2006 08:11 AM

did you see inside any phone boxes?

Cantankerous 08.04.2006 08:12 AM

i have little strip club cards from inside there.

Toilet & Bowels 08.04.2006 08:16 AM

i thought those might catch your interest, you didn't get any prostitutes cards though?

Cantankerous 08.04.2006 08:17 AM

yes i did. i can't remember where i put them though, i'm sure they are in a box full of shit somewhere.

porkmarras 08.04.2006 08:17 AM

Or perhaps she might have prefered joining into all the fun that seems to be generated by those phone boxes in the first place.New in town??

Cantankerous 08.04.2006 08:18 AM

yes, i went into a phone booth and came out as superman.

Sister Ray didn't seem much better than when it was Selectadisc when I went there to be honest. And their Japanese section was definitely worse than before.

porkmarras 08.04.2006 08:35 AM

Is it?I haven't been there for a while.The japanese selection at selectadisc could be really good or a bit on the poor side at times.

Sister Ray just seemed to have bought out Selectadisc lock stock and barrel. (Most of) the stock, the layout, the racks, even the dividers between sections are totally unchanged. Sister Ray's problem always seemed to be that they specialised in a few areas and totally neglected everything else, for instance they were always crap for most US post punk stuff. I really hope that the old Selectadisc isn't just going to slump down to the old Sister Ray's level.

porkmarras 08.04.2006 08:47 AM

Hopefully not or the first suicide bomb attack in a record shop wil happen there.

sonicl 08.04.2006 08:49 AM

If you know when that will happen please can you let me know, so that I can loot any decent stock that is left.

Toilet & Bowels 08.04.2006 09:00 AM

i'd say selectadisc is feeling the bite of the internet, as they seem to be pushing dvds a lot more now, and also they've made a lot of space for vinyl. and like iain says the jap section is rubbish. it only consists of boredoms/AMT/Merzbow/melt banana now

sonicl 08.04.2006 09:02 AM

Do you think the flow of decent Jap stuff into London has gone down though? Rough Trade doesn't seem to stock as much as it once did either (outside of the above mentioned boredoms/AMT/Merzbow/melt banana).

yeah, rough trade got worse, but has recently got better. their jap section isn't something to write home about, but it is still better than selectadisc's.
and they seem to have completely stopped selling NZ stuff.
but it is about the only place in london to buy raincoats CDs

porkmarras 08.04.2006 09:11 AM

It's because of the imminent war i hear.
