    Just listened to the Lana DR album that I bought on CD (I know, luddite right?) yesterday on the strength of the haunting 'Videogames' track.

    Entire album decidedly 'meh' (although I'll give it time to be a grower) but FFS Lana, cinnamon is not sweet and that line annoyed the carp out of me when I first heard it on the Corrinne Bailey-Ray song that you stole it from. Good grief woman, if you're going to steal lyrics (and worse, make them the lynchpin of a song) at least steal a good one. Never since 'isn't it ironic' has there been so wrong a line repeated so often in a song.

    What's the fuss about this lady? I've heard of her, but not heard her songs.

    Just been compiling my turbo playlist. The Doves, Stone Roses, Chemical Brothers, Coldplay, Kylie Minogue, Fat Boy Slim, Bloodhound Gang.

    That looks like a great compilation. Your mate should be well chuffed.

    Currently listening to RightTime WrongSpeed - John Peel compilation (1977-1987) so some similar ground.
