Comment:

probably a wholly inappropriate birthday present to give anyone but the best friend in the world. so i've got the right recipient for a (mostly) downtrodden wallowing-in-your-own-loneliness-misery-and-drink kind of mix. (mostly because i find it really hard to avoid up-tempo stuff. but i suppose natalie imbruglia will be translated as depressing regardless!) not as good as a hug, but it'll suffice for the geographically challenged.
