Why was the question asked, out of interest? First of all, thank you to everyone who responded. You're a wise and kind bunch indeed. This is part of a paper that I'm writing for a conference at the Experience Music Project next month. I'm pretty sure I mentioned this before on the Zorn list but just in case, here's some details: <http://www.furious.com/perfect/rockavantproject.html> Other than the particular artist collaborations and such that I mention there, I'm also interested in other ways these rock/avant convergences have been happening. It seems to me that this is fostered by certain record stores (including ones that people here have mentioned), magazines (i.e. The Wire), clubs, festivals, record labels and definitely mailing lists and other online communities like this one.

>From : Richard Gardner <richard.gardner(a)colourtone.co.uk> >Tower Records is exiting the UK completely this month. What, even their Piccadilly Circus branch? Haven't been there in ages as they're even more expensive than Virgin and HMV. Mind you, perhaps they will have a big sale before they close! I can readily think of two record shops in London that have latest rock/pop releases next to avant guarde stuff - Rough Trade (two branches, one in Covent Garden the other in Notting Hill), and Selectadisc (Soho). Selectadisc also has a branch in Nottingham, but I've not been to it. Piccadilly Records on Oldham Street, Manchester has the mixture you mentioned, as does Vinyl Exchange nearly opposite, a second hand store with a big Experimental section. Just off the top of my head. Why was the question asked, out of interest? Alastair -- Personalised email by http://another.com

Tower Records
by Tosh 25 Mar '03

25 Mar '03

It's amazing to me that Tower is closing all their stores in the U.K. I have been told that Tower extended themselves too much opening up stores all around the world. As a chain store, I thought the store was suffering in L.A. but the stores in London and Tokyo were pretty good. 'Good' for me is when I find something unique in their merchandise. The only thing that I find interesting strange enough is the Morricone section in the stores. In L.A. it seems Tower carries different stock than the others. I haven't visited Tower overseas for awhile now - but is the Tokyo Shibuya branch still doing well? -- Tosh Berman TamTam Books http://www.tamtambooks.com
