Not long ago we somehow found ourselves reading a transcribed PDF file of the new Harry Potter book on a laptop, in a public bathroom, and decided enough was enough, and made a pact to never, pirate, rape, or pillage again.

To atone for our sins, we now just shop at TITLE.

Following the success of its flagship Sydney store, and a 2007 retail interior design award under its belt, TITLE has now opened up shop in Melbourne.

Specialising in "the best music, films and books that this little planet hasproduced", one step into this marvelously curated store will make you totally forget that all their stock can be found much cheaper online.

Coverflow on iTunes may be nice, but can pale in comparison to TITLE's heavy wood shelves, which are a pleasure in themselves to browse through. Flicking through CDs and DVDs, staring at the cute person shopping next to you, looking at the ubercool clerk, wondering if you will have the guts to ask them about the song playing on the system, as you recall with fondness the far away city shops from your youth that held such mystery and possibility...

Or you could just go home, listen to some Pavement, stare at your bit torrent ratio, and masturbate into an old gym sock to internet porn.

It's your choice, really.
