I've been reading Emotionally Weird by Kate Atkinson recently. It's set at Dundee University sometime in the 70's there are quite a few music references - normally what is playing in various student flats.
To put it in context, the narrator has a boyfriend, Bob, with disgusting habits and a filthy flat, but she has problems leaving him. It's one of those situations that's more inertia than a relationship. pg 107 "An important part of my leaving-Bob daydream was the place I would live in without him - an uncluttered white space full of nothing but me. And perhaps a coffee table. And a bowl of perfect green apples. Joni Mitchell on the stereo. A white rug." Rob
