being totally oblivious to its imminenet demise i bought the last Ben Kweller album for a £5 in the Byres Road branch. If I had known that it would have been the last time I would ever get to shop in there i would have maxed out all my cards (not that they would have let me pay with a card!).

I only went once.
I got The Besnard Lakes Are The Dark Horse.
A baked potato
Shaken not stirred?
With beans and cheese I think
You rule.
the other week i almost bought
White Light/White Heat on vinyl, but realised that that was a silly use of money
the last thing i did buy was, i think, Minor Threats first two ep's on a 12"
again, a silly use of money, but for £5, pretty great
Last thing I SOLD at Fopp
Was the L/E version of The T'wang album.
Great, huh?
The last things I was *going* to buy were True Romance and Dog Day Afternoon on DVD, the Ranulph Fiennes Above The World book, Kraftwerk Trans... and Shitdisco 12"s.
But they're still sat in the staff drawer, where they'll stay forevermore.
Oh, I know actually
Last thing I BOUGHT from Fopp was Velvet Undergound s/t 12". £1.60 on staff discount.
Last thing I "stole"
Changesbowie. It went straight on the iPod.
It had been like two weeks since I had last been in :(
I think I got The Blow - Paper Television.
I thought they would stay open until at least sometime next week, but no such luck :(
About A Boy (book)
Modern Toss book
Animal House on DVD.
It was.........
Sonic Youth - 'Rather Ripped'
If I'd known they were going to close I'd have bought about 20 albums.
lol
I have started a thread that sounds like an AA meeting
The West Wing Series 1 on DVD
for a fiver. I liked Fopp.
Robbie Williams - Rudebox
it was £3 and it was a thank you present for someone who done something nice.
I also bought Ryan Adams - Gold for myself at the same time.
I never went into a Fopp
Ever.
I know. I regret not buying more while I had the chance.
Some of the last things I bought were the Dita Von Teese book, Smiths and The Cure CDs and Where The Buffaloes Roam on DVD. Either from the Byres Road or Glasgow City Centre branch.
£60
worth of CDs... I got 11 of them. :(
I am so gutted.
iLiKETRAiNS 10"
:(
probably volta
White Americano
and 'Mel Torme & Ray Anthony Live at The Playboy Jazz Festival'
A copy of
The Blood Arm's 'Lie Lover Lie' for a friend's birthday.
last thing i bought was a clockwork orange on dvd
about this time last year.

from the Oxford one.
Wilco's new album
and the Tony Visconti autobiography for my boyfriend's bday present.
clockwork orange
novel as a gift. So there's no sale or anything it's just shut?
Looks that way
i've never even seen a fopp shop
let alone bought anything from one.
i should have bought my neighbour totoro
for £6 when I had the chance.
Amazon will be happy.

Never bought anything from there...
I have no idea anyway where the nearest one was, Bristol?
/
:(
C) I didn't
I went in to the big Tottenham Court Road one on Saturday June 9th and they had none of the many gaps in my collection that need filling. Why does NOWHERE stock II by The Meat Puppets? I almost bought the new LCD Soundsystem album, but I didn't.
Kudos to Fopp Brighton for stocking the German compilation of Sebadoh vs. Helmet / Rocking The Forest. Not quite sure why as I'm sure it's not meant to be sold over here, but I got it for £5! Ah the memories. The amount of times I almost bought the best of Faithless for £3...
A copy of the NME
About a year ago. It was to read on a coach.
four tet - rounds
liars - TWWSWD
roughly one year ago
two bukowski books
and the redneck manifesto album.
Innocent When You Dream
Tom Waits book
I think it was
digital ash in a digital urn - bright eyes
Dinosaur Jr
Beyond Vinyl
The Thermals
More Parts Per Million
Neutral Milk Hotel 33 1/3 book...
the simian mobile disco album
i havent listened to it enough
Nina Nastasia and Jim White
You Follow Me
My friend bought a book last Friday
I forget what. I went to the till with the Biffy Clyro album and was told it was cash only. The cashpoint was only across the road but I didn't bother.
BUS 174 on DVD
I just watched it. Grim.
it was...
do make say think - you, you're a history in rust
the mars volta - tremulant ep
tom waits - real gone
i think there was another one, but i cant remember what
ooooh i love the Byres road one!
Its the place to be between lectures when there's nothing else to do...is it already shut?
Now I will spend my lecture gaps in Starry Starry Night caressing scarves.
All of them. Shut.
As of 4:34 pm on Thursday.
