What a sad old man I am. When I do know what I'm doing, it's the usual (apparently) mix of Prodigy/Chem Bros/FSOL etc and also whatever has recently taken my fancy (ie Jackie Brown soundtrack). Because I have a minidisc deck I tend to just copy other peoples' CDs and what I listen to changes a lot, unless I really, really like it. To tell the truth, after 10-15 mins I don't really listen to the music - I'm lost in my own thoughts half the time... I tend to work from 11pm till 1am, although I usually do stuff in the mornings. The weather up here has been so nice recently that I've found it hard to get much done during the day - I feel so sad shutting my curations at 4 in the afternoon to stop the glare on my monitor, y'know? Hasn't stopped me from getting well addicted to Panzer Dragoon Saga and House of the Dead (two more reasons to buy a Saturn), the cost of which means I'm well skint and have to stay in for the next month or so :-( Worrying thought, Nick PS I have to admit I have a lot of time for the new Madonna album, too :-/
