10th February

Thanks for the comments guys. I've around 3 and 1/2 hours in total, so I can get through quite a lot. It's all stored on a 160 gig iPod classic, though I allow myself the luxury of listening through a nice pair of headphones Shure SE-530 (cost more than the iPod) so it all sounds pretty good, and most of the outside noise is cancelled out. So for today:



Love Hate Round Trip - Araknamés (2006) Eclectic Prog (Italy) [3.84]



So - Peter Gabriel (1986) Crossover Prog (United Kingdom) [3.88]



The Old Man And The Sea - The Old Man And The Sea (1972) Crossover Prog (Denmark) [3.50]

just kinda skimmed through this thread, thought id get a comment in 

lots of music man. i will have to see what you've been listening to.

Black Market is a great album. Do check out Mysterious Traveler if you can

You're right...it's a little pathetic that a few inches of snow can cause so much disruption.

I don't think Scotland (Edinburgh) is too bad at the moment, It's other parts of England that may be affected worse. There may also be rain / thaw by Sunday so I'm hopeful the game goes ahead. Had it been in Cardiff there would have been no problem, as the stadium has a roof that they can close!
