Is it somebody's sole job?
Are they a DiSer?
Are there any other major brands whose stores play stuff like 65daysofstatic and Jeremy Warmsley?
Can I have this job?

i think that have

"topshop fm" for the whole country. whatshops do this too


which shops?


whatshops


whatshops

a geordie chain of dead cheap shit clothes. like aldi, for garments.

my mum loves it


oh yeah

and "I know your mum loves it"


she loves whatshops

i think the guy that owned it was called mr. watt or summit


If you put topshop fm in google...

...the first result is Last.fm.

Nice.


i dunno

but i went into topshop the other day and they have a rubbish sale.

i think the problem with topshop is that most of it's clothes are "trends", like those pixie boots and 60s wool dresses and footless tights. in a few months those are going to look so ridiculous that nobody is going to buy them.

and i refuse to pay £7 for a plain white tshirt.


I got two t-shirts for a tenner

on saturday in there. go to the mens section and get ulta small


that's still pretty steep

when you can get a pack of 3 for £4 at primark or something.


primark clothes

always look good on the hanger but awful when you put it on.

when they actually fit properly they are great tho.


2 for tenner?

i thought that was the best value ever!


nah

1 for £25
always


Pfft! I went in and got a nice knee-length skirt for a fiver.

Footless toghts are pretty much the worst thing invented, though.

I like going into Topshop when it rains really bad and pretend to shop so I have something nice to listen to until it subsides.


in the chichester one

they were playing broken social scene and bonnie prince billy. me=confused!


It's a woman called

Seema Dickinson and she works for 'TSTM'.

Every fortnight, they accept submissions for new videos and are then chosen on their musical merit, rather than marketing budgets.

It's a good thing.


Years ago I remember seeing

The Stills on tele at the Topshop on Oxford Street. It prompted me to pop along the road to HMV to buy the album. Can't be bad, that


So if you can put together a good video on a nice song does it matter if you're signed?

Because I'd have thought a bunch of good bands on here could put a great video together, or DiSsers who could do a good video would be happy to have the chance to try, if it could be seen like that?


Doesn't matter at all, sir.

If you put something together, pass it on and I'll forward it to her.


would your song

need a video?


Amazing.

You hero.

It's the best thing ever.


Who chooses the music for McDonalds?

They have had the same CD since 1996


I heard

lcd soundsystem in burger king once

FACT


burtons has a jukebox

in there but there indine/ rock section is abit limted


..

My friend said they played The Veils. Weird.


No.

No-one appreciates it really. They just wrestle each other for skinny jeans and ridiculus oversized handbags, ignorant of the music that wafts above their novelty-tight filled heads.


skinny jeans are good.

but isn't it weird when you see a girl on the street dressed ENTIRELY in topshop clothes. you can just tell that it's all topshop and it looks really really strange.


I often dress ENTIRELY in H&M

and I don't care whooo notices.


There is when

they make you look like a HEIFER.


I've heard

The Cooper Temple Clause - Damage
The Blood Brothers - Laser Life
and loads of other cool stuff in there.


On a vaguely similar point

The other day I heard the Juan Maclean in a local pub round my way. How did this happen?


james whale, of talksport

has just claimed to have invented the radio station in top shop, oxford circus
