Here's one. Just back from several days walking the St Cuthbert's Way in the borders. The trip back today involved taking the 10.00 AM 267 Border Villager bus from Wooller to Berwick-upon-Tweed on which every passenger apart form ourselves and the driver were ladies > 70 wearing headscarves.
So anyway back home and listening to DAB Radio 6 play "It's all too much" from Yellow Submarine got me rushing to the iPod and whoa! it occured to me to wonder how when grooving along in our little iWorlds these days folk exchange their musical experience? In my youth and young manhood with nothing more than LPs - great for skinning up on - this generally involved going round to someone's place to have a blather and get stoned; social activity basically. So I say bring back 12" vinyl and the "Heavy". Oh and I listened to Nick Drake first time around. Good walk y'all.
