I’m glad to see that the playlist has been corrected from the uncorrected proof that I read, and that Blue Aeroplanes have been reinstated as the purveyors of ‘Veils of Colour’ in place of Felt. Two tracks in a row by the same group would of course break one of the key rules of mixtapes. If rules existed. Which of course they do. I am playing the mix right now. It makes me feel simultaneously horrifically old and deliciously happy. In other ‘corrections’ news, I should point out that in my wee report back about the book I said it was released the day after my birthday. This was in fact an inaccuracy based solely on my inability to read a calendar. The book is actually released the day BEFORE my birthday. So there’s a chance someone might buy a copy for me, thereby allowing me to spend my birthday money on something else entirely. Like some swedgers*, for example. You really all ought to enter the competition because the tote bag is just this season's thing for toting about all your hipster belongings. I used mine yesterday to transport provisions from the local farm shop. And yes, there was a copy of The Guardian in there too. I am such a stereotype. Is the sun shining where you are? It is here. I might even go out and see if it warms me a little. cheerio The Duke xx *swedgers = Glasgow talk for sweeties. Well, it was Glasgow talk for sweeties when i was there.

Brief, I promise. Firstly my thanks to El Duke for a fine words of Stuart's book which makes me feel that it wasn't necessarily just me on happy pills thinking it was quite good. If *you* won a copy, please let us all know.
Secondly my apologies to Robert who stands in for everyone on the digest who received it too late to enter the competition. I am sorry! I forget how this thing works. By way of pathetic apology there's some sort of related competition doodah at:

and a link to a playlist of songs that Stuart M gave Stuart D one day (pre-B&S) on a cassette when he was ill. Here's that playlist. The last song still never fails to makes me glow attractively.
Salad Days - Young Marble Giants Veils of Colour - The Blue Aeroplanes Hours of Darkness Have Changed My Mind - Felt Ballad of The Times - Everything But The Girl Almost Prayed - The Weather Prophets Oomingmak - Cocteau Twins Sorry For Laughing - Josef K Brighter - The Railway Children Outdoor Miner - Wire Afterglow - The Servants High Expectation - Stereolab Savage Sea - The Pop Group Streets of Your Town - The Go Betweens City Sickness - Tindersticks
