I don't think I need to point it out, but it's been a good while since I visited here. All I can say is I hit a few metres away from emotional rock bottom, I should imagine (which is still pretty low, if I may say so myself) and left home.
But la dee da, we don't need a sob story, so here lies my apology and my plea to be once again accepted within the mighty ranks of the collective, despite my inappropriate absence.

tracklist

1 Guns N' Roses : Welcome to the Jungle
When I sat down to do this mix, it seemed only fitting - however cliched and predictable it may be - that this be the necessary gut-wrenching,butt-clenching opener for the show.

2 The Longpigs : Lost Myself
Having only recently 'discovered' the Longpigs, their 11 tracked wonder is still in full spin, and this particular track seems to sum up a lot of the past few months.

3 Bob Dylan : I Threw It All Away
One tends to only get the time to realise the mistakes they've made during the calm after the storm. During my calm, I happened to buy this album..it kind of woke me up.

5 Violent Femmes : Out the Window
If not for the catchy riffs and singalong choruses, then surely for the tremondous backing vocals. It has a wonderful knack of cheering me up, every time.

6 Green Day : Disappearing Boy
Now I know what you're thinking but Green Day have caught a bad rap lately, quite rightly so too, I'll agree. They, well, sold out. I cannot, however, ignore the fact that they were one of the first bands I really listened to as a wee lass and until now have been strangely in denial of that..I for one firmly believe, and would urge any ex-fans to remember, that those first few albums had SOMETHING, despite the lack of everything their new material has produced..

13 Led Zeppelin : Gallows Pole
I made a new friend, a couple of weeks back, and this was the first song we listened to. It might sound ridiculous but I think the first few songs someone chooses to play, when you first meet, says a lot. This just reminds me of him now.

15 Manic Street Preachers : Found That Soul
I didn't plan on this one originally, in my initial thinking- through, but I couldn't resist. It's of later Manics stuff, so its much more mainstream-friendly, but we'll forgive them. This time.

16 U2 with Bruce Springsteen : Stand By Me (live)
I can't describe this. It reminds me of so very many things all at once. I'm unsure if its on an album, but you can watch the video on YouTube, which is just astounding. Even if you don't like Bono. Like me.
