I like it because it has a huge photo of part of the town of Aberystwyth
including the Old College, where I studied, and also the house in which I lived for
3 years, and the building in which I had my natural food store! Also many other
great photos of the sea along the coastlines of the 6 celtic countries.

Here is a great film from a once-local film maker (Bill Daniel) about
box-car-writers .... was that the beginnings of graffiti?

Not only a great biography of an incredibly important musician, it is also an
interesting overview of rock from the sixties to the nineties.

A surprising disc coming from this South American MC. Sounding something like an
expert mixing of Keith Jarrett and Erik Satie (in his more imaginative stylings),
Gonzales has made a thoroughly enjoyable and memorable album of piano sketches that
are at turns elegiac, ecstatic, comatose. The sound quality of the recording leaves
something to be desired (expect a small amount of background noise and damage if you
turn it up) but it also adds its fair share of charm to the recording, coming across
as a work of private, brilliant impulse. Odd, but a CD to play again and
again.

How art has influenced what we consider beautiful in the world, and how an
appreciation of art can enhance your travels and your life. “Although we are
inundated with advice on where to travel, few people seem to talk about why we
should go and how we can become more fulfilled by doing so.”—from the jacket
blurb
