    Random NW encounters

    Went for a swim the other day, and when I entered the pool area the radio was blasting Over the Hills and Faraway. I may have imagined, but it felt like I started doing my laps just a bit more energetically than usual. Nice. (Couldn't find this type of thread, but if such a topic exists, as...

    Fall 2012 North American tour

    I haven't seen this reported here or anywhere else on the NW forums in English, so I thought I might as well do it: The Finnish tabloid Iltalehti has (again) been doing its thing, concocting dramatic headlines with close-to-zero content, this time about The Heart Asks Pleasure First and Michael...
