Crumbs, I didn't think my trip to Woolies would start such an ethical debate. But I don't mind helping it on a bit. David K says that to buy from a major store only helps them to dictate what you'll buy next. Surely, buying indie records from major stores will make them stock more indie stuff, which I hope everyone agrees is A Good Thing (except those people who don't want their favourite indie bands to become more successful, of course). So I say boycott the small indie record shops, and go to Virgin and HMV like the rest of us.
