Frustration

A very early start this morning, as a prelude to the important stuff at work today.

I started with the ADBS, featuring Amy Lame' and David Kuo. Very very good.

For a change, my iPod wasn't tuned into my mood, and I was forced to fast-forward several times in the 'Shuffle All' playlist. I forgot the tracks I skipped, although Queen featured heavily. Perhaps On-The-Go would have been better...

Intro + Ulisse - PFM,
This is the Way - Devendra Banhart,
Castle In The Clouds - Gong,
Little By Little - Oasis,
More Fool Me - Genesis,
In My Place - Coldplay,
Nucleogenesis - Vangelis,
Tour de France - Kraftwerk,
Aren't You The Girl - Tim Buckley,
Long Distance Runaround - Yes.

After the latter, I abandoned 'Shuffle' and basked in the glory of The Fish, Mood For A Day and the superb Heart of the Sunrise. A couple of years ago I spent a couple of days recording a tape of a Yes concert from BBC Radio 1 (!) and lovingly splitting it up into MP3 tracks in preparation for making a CD. At some point I had a rush of blood to the head and managed to delete all the files before I could burn the CD, and I have never got round to doing it again. It was a great gig...

T - 4; M -3; D - 3. Travelling at 7am on the Tube is a bit strange, though, and a bit disconcerting.
