I love you long time

I'm sitting in the peaceful periodicals room of the geography life. Even Downing College looks dreary in this weather. I know what you're thinking - where is this going?

Nowhere.
The real point of this post was to say that, yes indeed, "I love you long time" and that literal people have been literally asking me to get back on the blogging express. FIRST STOP!

Aha, I know what you're thinking again! "George Michael singing Careless Whisper - so fucking what?" That's a fair question, no doubt, but just give it a listen... mmmm. This was recorded in the sleepy Alabama town of Muscle Shoals, the nowhere-ville which just happens to be one of the epicentres of American rhythm & blues and popular music - the cream of the session musician crop will undoubtedly be playing on this. It has less of the shine of the standard recording, but the sound is lush (check that organ) and the last minute is fabulous.

More to come soon(ish).
