Comment:

The usual mix of latest tunes I've been grooving to on my merry way. This is a more celebratory tape than usual, what with (finally!) being given a full time contract at work, finding (finally!) somewhere shiny and new to live with a bedroom with an en-suite conservatory (!) and so forth. Anyone European might recognise the Vanilla Ninja and Zdob Si Zdub tracks as they were Switzerland and Moldova's entries for 2005's Eurovision Song Contest, long may that live. The Uminski track i discovered on "Tom Middleton's Crazy Covers" which is called Cosmosonica or something like that - a must just for collecting various covers you either already know and love, and other things. Whoever though Aztec Camera had ever covered "Jump" by Van Halen? Bizarro. This tape is also celebratory as it means I'm only one tape away from my super-nerd 100th tape spectacular. Wahey.
