HMV Apollo

No joke.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/news ... -deal.html

HMV have fucking bought out fuck loads of venues and have naming rights and renaming now one of the most prostigious venues left in london to the fucking HMV apollo. In think its disgusting.

Now if hmv are gettin into the music bussiness how long before they open themselves up a record label and start signing bands? Cause they have thier own distribution technically they will automatically beocome a major ....it will be the end of music as we know it...

But yea this sucks. I think places like the forum in london have been bought out,

ALSO G-A-Y has been taken over which they may re name...i dont think the big gay nightclub in london called H-M-V is going to to have same impact...especially as if u wer drunk you could think it would say H-I-V.........that would scare gay people the fuck away lol



Oh for fuck sake. I've had enough of this city.

HMV is cheaper than Zavvi...and they have a closing down sale on. So...plus they own Waterstones...which is amazing. Fantastic company, know what they're doing.


And they charge you that much to teach you a lesson for liking Agent Steel.

Lev that last part was utter dross.
Gee.... I don't know about the rest of you guys, but lately the only things that truly motivate me are erections and bowel movements.

Thank the Police coming straight from the underground...
