Walks like Sigur Rós, talks like Sigur Rós, but ain't Sigur Rós.

Help me id a piece of music from the Skins Season 2 DVD. I recently watched season 2 of Skins on DVD and I'm looking for a piece of music from episode 4 (Michelle). It's the scene with Sid and Michelle on the beach, in the original tv broadcast the song used for was Untitled 3 (Samskeyti) by Sigur Rós.

Due to licensing issues there's a lot of different tracks on the DVD release and I quite liked the replacement, unfortunately I wasn't able to find out what it is called, my research on several Skins forums and Google came up with nothing.

Here's the tune in question on YouTube

This is for my daughter, she is absolutely in love with Louise Rennison and wants to read something that is similar and British, in preparation for her trip to England. She's American, 17 years old, and loves the show Skins.

What to do with tomato skins

Oh my god, it's FINALLY tomato season, but what can I do with all these tomato skins? I swear I read somewhere online within the last week or so that you can roast them in the oven and then grind them into a powder to sprinkle on things. But I can't find it anywhere.

Does anyone know what that recipe was, or failing that, something else to do with a bunch of tomato skins? I like to take them off when I make fresh tomato sauce, but they have a lot of flavor and it would be nice to use them for something.

"Windowshades" functionality on Windows XP? Possible?

"Windowshades" functionality on Windows XP? Possible? I'd like to make some interface tweaks to Windows XP. Specifically, the one killer feature I'd really like to have is the Mac OS "windowshades" feature; you double-click on the titlebar to "roll up" or "roll down" the window, but other interface customization ability would be good too.

My Googling skills have failed me. Surely there is some product out there offering this functionality?
