      Primavera In Anticipo (Italian Version)
      by Laura Pausini

      Italian pop always sounds simultaneously Eurochic and Europop, I think.

      My previous fanaticism is here.

    This is Burnt Out Car, the small corner of the internet that belongs to me.

    It’s been up on the web in various guises since about 2003 and it’s a place for me to post my thoughts, memories, images, and other random bits and pieces of web-ephemera as well as a place to keep in contact with those people around me that are important in my life.

    The name, Burnt Out Car, actually comes from a song by a band who (close friends will know) are one of my favourites: Saint Etienne. It’s a pop song. ‘The Ets’ make pretty good pop songs.

    I have given Facebook a try but have disentangled myself from that particular vision of Orwell’s 1984 recently. If you want to keep in touch through this website I’d love to see you on ‘the inside’ - please use the link on the right to send me an email asking for a password.
