Comment:

This one's going in the package for my most excellent friend who has found herself in Glasgow - without doubt a city of music lovers. It's kind of a welcome gesture. Oh, and she also wanted to hear what a Welsh accent sounds like, hence the Goldie Lookin' Chain (it was either that or something from the Super Furries' Mwng, which would also give the actual language, but sheer entertainment value over musciality was the winning factor here...!) Many thanks to Gerry for the Mario "Harp" Lorenzi track. Title from the Libertines track.

Ahhh...nice having you and your mixes back in the loop.

Loving the Fall, lately. Surprisingly not familiar with a number of these.

Ignorance is no excuse...I know.
