Fopp rocks!
Well here we are 2007. Right thats it I’ve said enough about the new year, since every other blog seems to have resolution lists, predictions, etc, I won’t start repeating myself.
What I needed to say was Fopp Rocks. Oxford finally (well they arrived several months ago now but I’ve only just got around to mentioning it) has a Fopp store. Gone are the days of having to buy my CDs from HMV or Virgin, and today was my first proper outing - 4CDs for £18! Assuming that it is cheaper to buy CDs from iTunes rather than HMV/Virgin lets compare the prices:
Ed Harcourt - Here Be Monsters: £5 Vs $9.99
Faith No More - The Platinum Collection: £3 Vs not in iTunes (lets assume $9.99 as all the other FNM ones are)
Cream - Disraeli Gears: £5 Vs $9.99
The Beta Band - The Three EPs: £5 Vs $9.99
Total for Fopp: £18
Total for iTunes: $39.96 x 0.5128 = £20.49
Fopp ROCKS!
