sounds like HMV's on the brink.
shares down from 160p to under 4p, debts of over £220m, chief exec doing a bunk...
i can see why dim folks would initially see that as a positive, but it'd be pretty terrible for the music industry given the fucking ridiculous prices lots of independent shops charge.
i mean, sure, they've been pretty succcessful and so are "BAD", but hyperbole aside, quite simply, they sell lots of good music very cheaply.
given, they also sell lots of chavvy shite, but the bottom line is, it's better to give them, say, £50 for ten albums/dvds or books than an independent shop the same money for two.
