AMATEUR. Kids In America - Kim Wilde What A Man - Linda Lyndell Since You've Been Gone - Aretha...

He mentioned next weekend he was off to see Esben & The Witch at the Jericho Tavern (13th Feb). Next time we're on the web who do we come across quite...

by Rachel Brodsky As a John Cusack character once said, "The making of a great compilation tape, like breaking up, is hard to do and takes ages longer than it might seem." Regardless of how you might feel about High Fidelity, which trust me--is just as loved by music nerds as it is hated by others, Cusack's line remains pretty indisputable. Some might even argue that in the age of iTunes...
