Commercial: Support your local indie label

One of the more overlooked victims of the riots last week was the Sony warehouse storing the stock of, amongst others, CDs and LPs of loads of indie labels, those distributed by PIAS.

Sure, it's not a big thing in the scheme of all the other, intractable issues that need to be addressed over the next few months. But you wouldn't want your favourite band or label to suffer more due to the mindlessness that was on display. And, hearteningly, there is some support for the affected labels being organised.

So look for the logo, as displayed on the Rough Trade shop, and do your duty &c.
