    You'll go past my neck of the woods..... past the end of my road almost, although no idea if there are other train routes not past my house.


    I'll wave, regularly.
    What music have the NP been listening to lately?

    Last things played on my i-pod* are a couple of Nina Simone songs, a ludicrously cheerful Carpenters song, and Bach's double violin concerto in D minor (which I adore).


    * - I know it's an overpriced thing to buy. BUt I also have the far more expensive status symbol that is much rarer - an I-saac.
    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.

    Dh has, um, several MP3 players now. It might be overpriced but he assures me the iPods are for him the best of his collection, The one he has given me is an iPod.

    I like my ipod, it's great. Long-lasting, too, I've had it for ages. I think it was a Christmas present from my parents.

    DH's favourite music player is a Colorfly. I have no idea what one is or what it means but apparently they are quite good.

    I never thought I 'd be one of those people who looked aghast. and said ' what are they even singing, what are the lyrics?' And not when still not old.....

    Same. I also say "what is the terrible noise" like a grumpy old man wherever dance music is played. Unless it's the prodigy's experience album...

    Oh played some Calvin Harris on the journey to Scotland and I had to ask her to switch it off as it gave me a headache.

    The last three songs to play on my ipod were Morrissey (everyday is like Sunday), Morrissey (November spawned a monster) and Bobby Womack (across 110th street). I listened to that lot in the gym, god knows how I was able to stay motivated through the first two.

    I am woefully out of touch with modern music.

    The last 3 to play on mine were all Paul Anka doing rock covers, but I've been in a bit of a quirky musical mood today.

    So Cracker have been getting a lot of play, as have Dread Zeppelin.

    If we both had a posh phone - and cared enough to bother - I could have stood on the correct side of the railway station and waved at you through the window as it flew by .... although, as I typed that, I wondered if it'd have stopped, then we'd have just felt awkward and a bit creepy :)
