The N.W.R.A

music for a (very) long car journey

There is nothing more tedious than a blog that starts:

Mood: Restless. Currently listening to: X&Y, Coldplay

However I have just burned a CD in ATRAC3Plus format using Sony SonicStage which contains 15 albums !

  • The Killers - Hot Fuss
  • Interpol - Antics
  • Snow Patrol - Final Straw
  • British Sea Power - The Decline of British Sea Power
  • The Chameleons - Live at the Academy (2 discs)
  • Morrissey - Beethoven is Deaf
  • Radiohead - The Bends
  • R.E.M - Reveal
  • Ride - Nowhere
  • Idlewild - The Remote Part
  • New Order - Get Ready
  • Interpol - Turn On The Bright Lights
  • Nirvana - Never Mind
  • The Chameleons - Strip
  • The Fall - Psykick Dance Hall (3 discs)

There was even 3MB left free. I don't care that ATRAC is a lossy format. I am used to listening to bootlegs on TDK 90's that sound as though they were recorded in a bunker.

the big match atmosphere

So, you can now buy the program for last Sunday's Manchester United game against Chelsea in WH Smiths. I used to go to Old Trafford every fortnight in the late 70's and 80's (Stretford Paddock, Stretford End, United Road). Part of the experience was travelling there, getting to the ground early, securing your position on a barrier, reading the program, the atmosphere building, the smell of pies and bovril, the chanting, the opposition fans, the players warming up, the tension, the goals, the celebrations, the moaning, everything. Then I moved away from Manchester and was relegated to a barstool correspondent ... Read more
