Fopp was shite. It never had anything apart from mainstream releases - One felt obliged to buy stuff just because it was so damn cheap. Every time I went in one I loaded up on CDs and then on approaching the counter put them back and went to Rough Trade in Covent Garden instead to buy obscure CDs and Records. I can understand why people like it, but they never stocked anything that you couldn't buy anywhere else.

I dunno Bleep. I bought an awful lot of stuff in there over the last couple of years that most people won't and will not have heard of. Mainstream it ain't.

I suspect from previous postings that your tastes lean heavily toward electronica, and for this you may well be correct.

For indy it was a marvel.

EDF: another day, another attack.


Mockney,


I'm afraid your knowledge of recorded music technology is not sound.


The organic material used to play records was the thorn needle.


They could be purchased at Follet's record store at the bottom of Lordship Lane.

      Dulwich library closing for refurbishment

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      If you "cotton on" and read the council announcement, it clearly states "The library will be closed from 17 November until late June or early July 2026."  https://www.southwark.gov.uk/2025/dulwich-library-closing-refurbishment

      Goose Green Clinic, healing and energy work with Lisa

      By Emily1011 · Posted

      I’ve been seeing Lisa at goose green clinic for energy work for a year now.  Lisa is kind, caring and hugely supportive. She is wonderfully masterful and trained as a reiki master for 20 plus years. Alongside other energy work.  My time spent with her is like therapy. An emotional safe space for deep conversations and reflection followed by relaxing and energising healing work.  each experience I’ve had has been different, the end result remains the same. Feel lighter, almost euphoric and almost float home. Definitely an experience not to be missed.  https://www.goosegreenclinic.net/therapies/healing-energy-work/

      Went there once and were not impressed when they charged £9 for one pot of Chinese tea for 2 people.

      Dulwich library closing for refurbishment

      By Pugwash · Posted

      What nobody has cotton onto is that Dulwich library will not be available possibly for the Council Elections in May 26. Looks as though Southwark are not confident that the work will be completed by May 26 and are scouting around to find alternative venues.
