nice to be back after a weekend off (due to PC troubles).  great to be back though, and what i lack in curbing my enthusiasm i make up for in…ummm…being horrendously drunk.  so drunk i’d left my cartridges from my earlier gig in town (and they weren’t there when i got back the next day to salvage them – d’oh!).  anyway, i hope you enjoy the selection…

The second of my two Favourite Bits of 2009 shows (the other is here) – this show is mainly about the downtempo, more electronic side of the svelte repertoire, though there’s some off-kilter indie and folkish type business in the middle, and a couple of tracks to dance to at the end.

You can download the whole show from here, or check out a limited number of tracks (about 50 mins worth) through Spotify here. Again, I urge you to go and buy records you like, or check out the various gigs these people do. THEY DESERVE YOUR CASH.
