Recommend me any song by any artist you can think of. Ideally someone you might not expect me to have heard of, so I can broaden my musical horizons, and all that bollocks. Also, I'm putting together a playlist for the Uni DanceSport team trip to Blackpool in a couple of weeks, so if the songs will mortally offend students with delicate sensibilities, all the better.

Q (cos the above isn't a Q) - in honour of the aforementioned Uni team's enforced stay until 3am in Chesterfield cos the coach broke down (I was at my parents' place with a beer), what's the worst place you've ever been stranded?

Alt Q - ideal boob size. Go nuts.

Leaf Hound - Growers of Mushroom

Actually, since I've got you here:
My old flatmate, since disappearing Oop North has discovered a fresh interest in the progressive and psychedelic rock I originally tried to introduce him to, from which he has independently discovered Gong. He is now insisting that I should give, among other bands, Porcupine Tree a try. Any thoughts?

I can't think of any songs
namely because my ringtone is set to Carry on My Wayward Son, and it's driven everything else out of my head.

Worst place I've been stranded was probably a little town in the middle of Ireland. Or Victoria station in London for 24 hours or so.

I got stranded in Edinburgh Waverley once
I was 14, had 27p to my name and had just missed the last train home. I had to wait for 7 bastard hours, but in fairness they did take pity on me and put a sleeper carriage on the royal mail train for me. I think I got home at about 4am.

I always thought a C/D would be nice, but apparently having been measured recently that's what I am, so...perhaps a C/D that doesn't look like a ping-pong ball in a sock would be better.

What a fucking tune. The name of the track is more than apt.

My only hitchhiking fail
was on the way back home from a hitch to Lowestoft, purely for a pint and fish and chips by the sea. I got dropped at junction 13 of the M1 on a Sunday afternoon, stood near a layby half a mile down the wrong fucking road for an hour wondering why there was no traffic. I walked back up to the junction, stood on the right exit next to cars and trucks zooming off the roundabout with nowhere to stop, held my sign out for a pointless hour of trying to look happy.

As the sun started to set, I gave up and walked three miles from the junction into MK and caught a cab home. I never wish to be stranded on J13 of the M1 again.
