This is what happens when you can't sleep.
Take heed, kids. Go to bed early. Establish and maintain a regular sleeping pattern. You may turn out ordinary but at least you won't do dumbass shit like this:

1. BT - 13 Angels on My Broken Windowsill (14:08)
2. Björk - Jóga - Björk (5:05)
3. Massive Attack - Risingson (4:58)
4. Fluke - ykk (6:44)
5. Fluke - Bermuda (7:57)
6. James Blake - Limit To Your Love (4:36)
7. A Perfect Circle - The Noose (4:52)
8. Telefon Tel Aviv - Mostly Translucent (4:15)
9. BT - See You on the Other Side (14:23)
10. Helios - The Obeisant Vine (4:27)
11. Madita - A Walk (3:24)
12. The Cardigans - Feathers And Down (4:30)

Someone gave me a mix CD which was fantastic, and certainly a narrative about themselves. When we did our disc exchange, I'd burnt off a DVD of albums on mp3 which wasn't really very focussed. Well, it was, it just didn't have a single narrative. I don't know, I figure it'll emerge if you listen to each album but anyway, I figured I'd dial up 80 minutes of hand-picked music.

The first problem with attempting to do that is everything in my collection is representative of some important aspect of my experience and persona, which is of-course obvious. Creating an abstract narrative of myself is a tempting exercise as there are so many stories to tell. Nevertheless, I seem to have chosen for the most part something like introspection vs chaos and agitation. What fun!

I'd write out what each track means but that would be cheating. Plus someone may actually ask me about specifics and I find that much more interesting, so private emails or discussions in person are preferred.

Yay! Another thing that's stopped me from writing in Cardboard Embassy! I swear I'm going to get to that this week.
