Discover Music – Pandora

Category: Culture, Music | Comments Off | Trackback

Pandora is an internet radio station that attempts to play music you will like, based on your preferences. I’m listening at the moment and have been impressed to find, having told them that I like both New Order and the Stone Roses, that it played Dinosaur Jr. and L.T.W.T.M.S. by The Trouble with Sweeney of [...]

Gary Blatch has just relaunched Ernie Howell’s SUFC scrapbook, featuring autographs, photographs and programme covers from times gone by.

Some toerag drove in to my father-in-law’s car just after midnight yesterday morning. I heard a loud bang and jumped out of bed, hoping I might see something. Unfortunately, I was looking out of the back window, not realising at this point quite what had happened. A few minutes later my neighbours knocked on the [...]
