I haven't died. Not quite.
I've been mobbed with changes at work, and flat-related-stresses. If i'm truthful, i've had an awful lot of excrutiating hangovers i've had to work through and generally lasting the day/week/month has proven tougher than expected.
Anyway.
Glastonbury Festival has inspired me.
I've picked up lots of records i haven't listened to in a long time, dusted them down, given them a spin and remembered some of my favourite festival moments.
The Chemical Brothers in particular moved me.
I don't know how, or where, but i simply must see them again. This summer. The strobe lighting looked absolutely stupendous, didn't it?
If you haven't already, you can catch that performance along with a handful of other key headliners on the BBC's dedicated site.
While i was recovering from my latest overdose of white wine and sambuca in bed yesterday, i made this mix to try and chill me out a little bit. It's been a tough month, so here it is for anyone else who needs a desperately overdue mental detox.
