Because it's a one-stop shop for all your news needs, and, and this the thing that makes me love it even more, it will annoy Rupert Murdoch, and anything that annoys him is a good thing.
It also has some of the best sports coverage in the world. Frequently I "watch" sports via their text service rather than on TV. That's how good it is.
Also, music meme:
Day 05 - A song that reminds you of someone
Actually, all of Employment by the Kaiser Chiefs reminds me of my old housemate N.
The first song of theirs I heard was 'Oh My God (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54DtVXjk2jY)' on CD:UK, and I fell in love. I had to have more of this band. One of the other tracks off this album was on the NME 'Best of' CD for the year. That track was 'Na Na Na Na Naa' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMViPKkRImk&feature=channel). I played it to my housemate N because it was the only track of theirs I had to hand. Her reaction was 'that's not music'. Then 'I Predict A Riot' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84qWb8i_Q_A&feature=channel) was released. She was hooked. So yeah, Kaiser Chiefs converted a bhangra and RnB fan to indie. N went to see them live at Brixton. She said it was a fantastic night. I was talking to her one night, and she'd left this playing quietly in the background. We went to talk to our other housemate N, and 'Time Honoured Tradition' came on, but so quietly the second N couldn't hear it. According to her, the two of us breaking simoultaneously into the chorus was wierd and freaky ;)
