Rick Wakeman - Edinburgh Book Festival, 22 August
Eine Kleine Nichtmusik (Free subscription) | 07/09/2008

So TamaraK and AlanDP have been writing about ripping their music collections. Yeah, I’ve been doing that, off an on, for a while, and I have a bit more than half of my CDs ripped. I wish I had a good way to rip my vinyl, but that’ll have to wait until I can affort [...]

New band with Hot 45! The Left Outsides!
Electric Roulette (Free subscription) | 22/07/2008
