I am writing this on my fancy new not-yet-internet-connected computer. I'm going to have to speak to Amy about getting this page up, hopefully you should be reading this on Monday as usual, but we'll see. The trouble is my modem got nicked along with everything else, which means I have to wait for another one to get posted to me. Rubbish.

Anyway, speaking of Amy, I have to thank her for one of the best compilation tapes I've ever got. Which is saying something because I've played the crap out of virtually every mix tape I've managed to persuade my friends to make. I enjoy them so much - you always seem to end up with a completely random collection of songs, most of which you've never heard before and I've found I don't know how many of my favourite artists, just though people putting a song on a tape and me demanding to know where it's come from. But yeah, this one's really good... I love it!

Myself, I've never made a tape that I've been happy with. It annoys me. every time, I try and make a good collection of things that I love, and every time it seems slightly disappointing. Maybe it's an illusion because I know all of them, and all the highlights of your music collection played one after the other gets a bit dull (after all, they're the songs you know best - no suprises). But it still gets on my nerves.
