The 14.2 Hz Station - Fiona (Swindon)

★ Hi

This page belongs to Fiona. Swindon. 24. Fan since 1989, when a postcard that said WHERE IS NOVA? changed my taste in music forever.

★ A Sceptic's Counter-Argument

My position: great music, bad maths, and too many people who want a mystery. That said, I've been to 23 Listening Nights.

★ Favorite

'Rise From The Silence', no contest. My roommate has heard it 23 times this week and is threatening to move out :-P
