I love stumbling across neat little finds like Title Space especially when they are virtually on your doorstep. Title sell films, music, books and fashion - that's what it says on their postcard but this ain't no Angus & Robertson. Walk in and you immediately breath cool... as in Miles Davis and Charles Mingus cool.
The music and films come in vinyl, compact disk and of course DVD versions. The vinyls are all neatly packed and don't look like they've spent half a century sitting in some ol muso's attic or in a DJ's throw around vinyl storage box. I bought a series of vinyl's once just for their covers - they make cool pieces to hang on the wall as a kind of home made art series. Title is the kind of place you can find quality album covers for wee projects like this. But it's more about the music right? In the first 60 seconds of being in this store I saw more albums I wanted to buy than I have in a long time. Rare is it to walk in to any kind of shop and want to buy everything you see but Title was one of those places for me. The debut album by an African female artist Fatou that was playing when I first walked in really set the mood.
The book selections was full of finds that you just don't find in the big chains too so pop in here if you want an original book gift. I also loved that they had a funky range of clothes made from bamboo and other eco materials - go independent small business! read more
