Comment:

"Don't panic, Captain Mainwaring!" Cliched, perhaps, but what I often think when I start to get worried about exams, essays etc which are all coming up around this time of the year. So just to ensure that I don't, indeed, panic, I made this to play over and over again while I'm studying... Not many tracks, because I couldn't fit any more onto the CD, but it was just all about the atmosphere. And considering what I am faced with, I thought the Belle and Sebastian very appropriate! :)

Thought the title would be a Dad's Army reference. Great mix.

My exam routine involved putting down all my books and notes 20 minutes before the exam and listening to a few choice relaxing albums/mixes right until I opened the exam booklet. It always put me in a great headspace. Anyway, kudos for a great downtempo mix: Tortoise, DJ Shadow, Air, yay!
