Sinister: My trip to Woolies

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.
