ARCHIVE MUSIC WEEK July 31 1999
HMV is set to become the first specialist music retailer to introduce digital kiosks to the UK High Street allowing customers to download tracks and burn them on to CDs in-store. It has formed a joint venture with an unnamed major record label and media company… A question mark hangs over future live appearances by Radio One’s Tim Westwood following an attempt on the DJ’s life last week. A shooting occurred when Westwood was returning from a gig in Brockwell park, south London… Retailers are voicing increased concern about the volume of business they are losing to internet piracy and CD-R counterfeiting. Jo Walters, who runs the Trading Post store in Stroud, says, “I know how the greengrocer felt when the supermarket arrived in town. I feel the days are numbered”… Daphne & Celeste’s debut single will be Ooh Stick You. Discussing the project, manager Howard Toshman said after receiving answers from the pair to an ad asking for pop singers: “These two girls were not what we were looking for, but they were so funny we had to do something.”
