Snapped Ankles there with I Want My Minutes Back, a song about lost time to technological distraction.
LiamHOST
Before that, you had Yorkshire's Yard Act with The Overload on similar themes.
LiamHOST
And before that, Tweet, Tweet, Tweet by Nottingham's own Sleaford Mods.
LiamHOST
I've been your host Liam today on States of Matter, and I hope you've had the chance to learn something and perhaps be inspired by the stories from my hometown.
