One thing I used to like doing back in England was to be in a toasty warm room, drinking something nice, looking out the window at the freezing cold world outside. Not much opportunity to do that in the Californian Central Valley, but today it was possible. It got down to 19f here last night, and although I know it is colder elsewhere, I did feel justified in sipping by mocha latte and gazing through the window. Here is some music that I felt fitted the mood.

| 1 | John Fogerty : A Hundred And Ten In The Shade |
|
A languid balmy start to things. Fogerty comes from close to where I now live in Porterville, but his music always sounded like it originated in swamp country, even in his Creedence days. I can just picture this playing as I sit in my rocking chair out on the front porch, iced drink in one hand, acoustic guitar in the other...

| 11 | Pink Floyd : Careful With That Axe Eugene |
|
And then all this rem action has resulted in me waking up, but I am groggy, still close to a dream state. Floyd's psychedelic ramblings suit my unfocused mood as I slowly realzse that the heat I feel is due to my air conditioning, and not to any manic dancing.

I am awake, but ready to slip into the mood I was in before sleep hit, but I now feel a little melancholy for no good reason. Time for an all time favorite. Everything about this recording is right.

Three of my all time top twenty to keep the rosy glow in my cheeks. I have used this song in at least one mixtape before (I think it was the Portishead remix that time) but it is so wonderful on so many levels. I feel Bjork sweeping me up into her astounding world, and my eyelids flicker once more.
