Like you I first went to Fat City when it was in Afflecks and Mark Rae was behind the counter.<br>It was great to have a place that specialised in Hip-Hop, unlike some of the other shops in Manchester.<br>And - they didn't make you feel like a knobhead (like they did at Spin Inn) when you sometimes had to describe(hum?) a tune that you'd heard whilst out clubbing or something! I'll always be grateful for that.<br>That said - I probably only used them about 3 or 4 times in 2008/9. I never go into Piccadilly Records anymore. So it's kinda hypocritical to lament about it I guess.<br>I wonder how many of the people who think it's sad that Fat City has closed still go to record shops? I wonder how many download mp3s for free instead?</p>ohfoTue, 25 Aug 2009 02:10:58 -0000
