Awesome but they need to do something compatible with an ereader app. This plus all the Omni backissues and that 70's synth mag posted earlier could easily fill all my downtime.

One look at that site and a bunch of 80s ear worms invaded my skull. That's today's entertainment sorted.

Synapse! That was that magazine.

I like the old gossip, like Tony Blackburn calling Elvis Costello a "silly little man" for putting out "Radio Radio" back when you might think radio could still be saved.

Nice find. Rather appropriately, I listened to Big Country's "The Crossing", start to finish, just last night.

It was a truly great time to be a pre-teen in the UK. It's too bad that kids these days don't grow up looking at the likes of Siouxsie, Polly Styrene, The Clash and Adam Ant. I'm quite sure I'm the better for it in adulthood.

I'm going all misty. Thank you.

My friend's brother, who was a few years older than us and at grammar school, had one of those hip young teachers who taught a lesson (not sure if it was English or History) around the song Stand and Deliver.
Us, we used to draw that white stripe across our noses in chalk when we were out on the playground at lunchtime. /antpeople

Yes, indeed. I'm so glad that I grew up listening to the music of CURRENT YEAR - MY AGE + 15-20 YEARS. It is so much better than whatever crap it is that kids are listening to in CURRENT YEAR.

There--cut and paste, folks--cut and paste. You can use that one for the rest of your lives.
