HELP! How do you and your partner decide what music to listen to in the car?

At the weekend Mrs Jung and I had a blazing and ultimately very serious row over what music to listen to in the car whilst travelling on a long journey. We both had our iPODs with us and have a lead that allows them to play through the stereo. So we had thousands of songs to choose from, but my playing of It's Immaterial's Driving Away From Home, followed by her playing Moby, and some childish behaviour by both parties, caused our worst row ever.

We have fairly different taste - we dislike a lot of the same bands - but can't agree whether too choose something we both like (assuming we can find such a thing) or think the other might like (which is what I generally try to do, but apparently failed miserably at) or if one of us should choose what they want to play (hence Moby, prededed by Rsdiohead's recent album) and the other should lump it (I hate some of the Moby tracks). Or just travel in mutually resentful silence or listen to the radio where they are unlikely to playmuch either of us likes.

Today we travelled in silence - I didn't even dare broach the subject. Any advice appreciated.

I've found my musical Holy Grail - what's yours? Have you looked lately?

I love the internet, don't you? After many years of searching, but not recently as I'd given up hope, I have found a really great quality recording of my all time favourite band, the mighty Pavlov's Dog.

Pavlov's Dog Live at the Ford Auditorium 1976 - it's a radio broadcast so is excellent quality. There's apparently some live footage too. *faints with anticipation *

Details here. http://pavlovsdogliveindetroit.blogspot.com/

So don't give up, it may have surfaced recently.

My real name Mike Sargent came second in the May Caption Calling comp, but I didn't enter....

I was astounded to see my real name (Mike Sargent) in second place in the May 2010 edition's caption competition as I didn't actually enter unless I'm losing my marbles. I'm a long term subscriber (well, slightly on and off with the sub but I have bought every issue ever) to Word and have only once ever met anyone else called Mike Sargent - that was at Swansea University where IIRC they paid my grant cheque into his account. So, would the real Mike Sargent please stand up and be recognized?

Fanfarlo - track 2 on The Word CD. $1 for their whole CD!

Just to say this band is fantastic, in an Arcade Fire meets Midlake and The Decemberists sort of way. The whole CD called Reservoir plus extra tracks is downloadable from the band's website for only $1 (that's about 66p to you, Guv). It really is *adopts Whispering Bob voice* very fine indeed. Get it now from www.fanfarlo.com If you don't like it, I'll refund your money (*).

(*) Well, I won't but you can afford 66p can't you?

PS You can pay by Paypal.
