TV Series of High Fidelity (and other depictions of 'music fans' in film and TV)

Malf of them were in the trailer.

Malf? What the fuck does that mean? Ralph Malf?

Anyway, as a follow-up to SMBH's post the ones I got from the trailer are
!) The apartment.  Naturally.
2) The drinking JD in a bar while wearing a leather jacket. OK, I can't say if it's definitely JD but it is some kind of brown spirit. And she is wearing a leather jacket
£) The bisexuality bit. One of her exes is a blonde woman called Cat, who, if the story is true to the book/film, appears to be the 'big one'' the real heartbreaker (only renamed from Charlie).

So with SMBH's addition you nearly got full house. I bet there was a bit about vinyl in there as well. I must say though, the thing has to be extremely boring for him not even to remember girl-on-girl action featuring Zoe Kravitz. Or maybe it just wasn't mentioned in the first episode. Although I can see it as a definite selling point.

Also I've been in plenty of struggling record shops in my time. Most of them are about a tenth the size of the one featured in this.

I think I must have been 16 or so when I first read it, at a point I was just getting into music myself, and quite enjoyed it. Then I re-read it  about ten years later and hated it for Hornby's tedious musical conservatism. I'm trying to remember how old the Rob character is supposed to be - early/mid 30s? - and yet had pretty much zero interest in any contemporary music.

I know for a fact that Nick Hornby doesn't like The Undertones. Which to me proves he has absolutely no taste whatsoever.

Ah, I remember the bisexuality aspect now, and put it down to the show being shockingly boring, with the main thing I remember about it all being just how ridiculously annoying her two friends were.

The only good bit of the film was the use of You're gonna miss me. And the beta band part
