h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I buy 80 minute discs and record in LP4 mode - that's 5 hours and 20 minutes of record time...that's how I do it...

It took me ages to save up for one minidisc player. Plus, if I lost mine now, I probably won't be able to buy another one as I think the model has already been discontinued...

The line I'd got my original one from was discontinued, luckily dad didn't notice that the one I got was completely different (I'm a jammy sod luckily)

I only get the 74 min discs.

do you record in LP4? Because it certainly saves the amount of discs you use...

1. Terrorvision: Regular Urban Survivors (Celebrity Hitlist)
2. The Wonderstuff: If Only The Beatles Had Read Hunter... The Singles Collection (Size Of A Cow)
3. Elvis Costello: When I Was Cruel (Episode Of Blonde)

5. Terrorvision: Shaving Peaches (Vegas)
6. Jools Holland & His Rhythm and Blues Orchestra: Sunset Over London (Dangerman)
7. The Beatles: 1 (I Wanna Hold Your Hand)

9. Astrid: Strange Weather Lately (Boat Song)
10. The Divine Comedy: A Secret History (The Popstar's Fear Of The Pollen Count)

Yay! The Divine Comedy!!!


Going back to earlier in the conversation...
I've heard Family Reunion, It's on "short music for short people". That's a cool album, it's pretty much every punk band under the sun doing 30 second songs...

Another album containing Family reunion? Must be a good one...

it is! Though they are only 30(ish) second songs there are 101 bands on there, making the whole cd about 50 minutes long!
I got the "Warped tour 2002" album the other day, that's good aswell. I like punk samplers and compilation albums.

Are all the songs rude?

no, a good percentage of them are all about the fact that the song is 30 second songs.
The Nerf Herder one is "I was thinking of you, I j*rked off into my sock last night..." I think it's called "Doin' Laundry."

ahh...i see...even more of a reason to get the album then!...

I like the Divine Comedy, especailly Pop singers fear of the pollen count and Everybody Know That I Love You

Tah for the input, will oput it in ASAP

National Express rocks!
The Popsinger's fear is easily the best though.

A virtual piece of for anyone who can name the 2 tv theme tunes on that album and the program they come from...

It's just so damn funny!

yeah, the law, and that other one, erm...

cant remember.
