As the Tour de France gets into it’s final week the amazing story of Tyler Hamilton who’s competed with a broken collarbone for almost two weeks and is still in seventh position.

In a nostalgic mood for a time when they didn’t let fools like me on the interweb, last updated in ’97 the “Ever Expanding Web Music Listing!” -if you’re in the mood for a bit of time travelling.
