Vinilo on Queensway
Seeing as I'm a wooly back I have no idea where that is!

No, I bought it from Resident along with the other two, saves on postage costs!


Queensway is the centerish of town, down near where debenhams used to be. Just had a look on their site and it looks a bit rock/indie focussed for me so can't really comment.

Quick google also tells me the totton one is gone now which is sad.

You're talking to someone who still parks in Westwood Road and walks down to St Mary's and has pretty much no knowledge of the centre of town

Bit of a trek but it's nice to walk past Padwell Road where my grandad lived before the war, we used to use the pub before it closed and much easier to get on the M27 after the game

Fail we may, sail we must

My great gran lived on Westwood road towards the end of her life, it's always had a lot of retirement homes there and Winn road.

I also did my paper round on both those roads as a nipper, the pay for which would mean i could go to the dell.

Crazy how different it was back then, a morning paper round could pay for a football ticket, doubt that's true now!

Another trade gone

That's sad if true, a rite of passage and the first chance to have some responsibility and a bit of your own money.when young

I havent seen anyone doing a paper round in about 20 years, another sad thing is the lack of paper sellers in the precinct, they have also gone.

WH Smith sold out and the new owner has closed down WH Smith's in above bar, meaning there is no post office in the town centre and nowhere to buy a paper and specialist magazines.( Before anyone asks I bought music magazines there)

Jazz (music) mags?

When I worked in hi-fi retail we used to sell Linn Records, one of the artists on their roster was Claire Martin, it was a running, if purile, joke to say she was in all the jazz mags whenever anyone asked about her.
I now understand she's a bit of an English jazz singing legend, so sorry Claire if you're reading this, I very much doubt she is

The new Ezra Collective lp is one of the ones I'm expecting imminently
Re-pressings of Boulevard by St Germain and Colour Of Spring by Talk Talk are the others

Quite fancy getting the 2 lp re-issue of Maggot Brain, not sure if I want to pay over 50 quid for it though

Much as it's easy to just order everything I want online, I miss the thrill of actually going into a shop and buying the records.

I see there's an independent shop in Southampton, do you know if that's any good?

try popping in to Erics on Portsmouth Road Woolston for a great independent local record shop

All this talk or a Chapel Kop has left me with Blitzkrieg Bop as an ear worm for the last hour or so

A O let's go
A O let's go

From old men in block 20
The noddy songs are plenty
Football in a library
The Chapel Kop

No offense intended as it's a bit rich coming from someone who apart from intense outbursts of swearing and the joining in with Oh When The Saints sits in silence at the top of block 19 for most of the game, it's just my sarky and sometimes misplaced sense of humor

I like that tbf. Still think NickSO19's ditty to dedicated follower of fashion is my favourite that should get an airing

They see him here,
They see him there.
Shirt over a hoody and he doesn't wash his hair.
He's a dedicated follower of Southampton.

Oh yes he is (oh yes he is)

And if there's one thing that he loves, well it's the megastore.
One week he's in yellows, and the next week he's in stripes.
He's a dedicated follower of Southampton
