Rush my money to the record shops

HMV is going into administration.
And if HMV goes, it'll take Fopp with it (I imagine).
And that'll be the end of the big high street record shops.
If it causes an outbreak of independent record shops, then hurrah! I fear it won't. And I like record shops.
I don't browse well online, not for music or for books. I want to pick stuff up, and look at it. I want to own a CD, and a nice cover, and some sleevenotes. I want to be able to wander into a record shop, and listen to what's playing. I want to flick through CDs and see what's on offer.
I'm a dinosaur.
Time for a ceremonial trip to HMV on the way to work in the morning.
