HMV was a music store chain that got shut down in the mid 2000's.
It was a music heads haven.
I had a TV box full of tapes all stolen from HMV courtesy of those bullshyt white stickers you could just easily peel off and pocket. I got caught stealing once, grandfather had to pick me up...I was banned but when a group of 7th graders and 8th graders all just up and went over there as a group to see TLC I got pulled out of the group and embarrassed by the security guard but he let me go with the group because a parent vouched for all of us. This chick who I would later see in promo pics with TLC was stapling these triangle shaped pics of TLC on our coats while we stood on line. Finally at the booth, they all signed their names on the picture and Left Eye would get it last and ask the persons name. When it got to me she asked my name and I tried to be on some smooth Devante Swing shyt with it but she payed me no mind, repeated my name, wrote it down and handed me the picture and shooed me away with her body language. I lost that autograph nearly 2 decades ago when I failed to keep up the payments for a storage bill.
