I had much the same dilema a few years ago when I got sick of lugging CDs out to the car. I looked at all the online info about the FM transmitters and was put off by the issue of changing frequency on long journeys (when I wanted to use it most) - that and the fact that most seemed geared solely to...

Extreme - fecking excellent band!!! The first band I saw live, and also the band that got me away from A-Ha and Wet Wet Wet and introduced me to a rock orientated sound. Yes, More Than Words is pants - I skip past it whenever it comes on my MP3 player, but other than that I'll listen to every other ...

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this thread but I think it is time to lay it to rest just as MJ himself is due to be laid to rest in LA later today.

Have sent you a PM

Hey all, I'm issuing a general invite to all you lovely Kissinuk folks to visit Edinburgh in July. What's the occasion? Well, I've chosen a date to have a flat warming party (only 11 months after I moved in). With Mark & Diane having to cancel their yearly house party I've chosen to nick their d...

Not me, but my sis is going to Manchester with 4 friends - she is very happy.

Just spotted this on the BBC website: A live music venue in Dundee credited with helping bands including The View achieve stardom has been saved from permanent closure. Mounting debts resulted in The Doghouse in the city's Brown Street being shut down in April. However, a fundraising gig headlined b...

Well, unfortunately due to prior commitments of the blowing up DTK kind, I won't be able to see Flight 666 in Edinburgh tonight. Oh well...
