Comment:

Mix #29. Made in May of 2004. The book theme is The Stranger and The Myth of Sisyphus, both by Albert Camus. The secondary theme is ALTERNATION. This one was really a jumble when I started on it, but I think it came together very nicely at the end. The title is culled from the book theme and lyrics from the last track.

Excellent stuff - like the E&TB and Sondre Lerche; one of my favourite Idlewild tracks too.

Albert Camus was not only an existentialist author, he was also an accomplished football,(soccer) player at international level as a goal keeper. An ideal inspiration therefore for such an eclectic mix that draws together music that swings - physical as well as intellectual!! Nice One.
