Right-o.

I was just in Eng­land for two weeks. I went to see the Mute Short Cir­cuit event — which, duh, was one of the high­lights of my life — and see old friends and travel around and just soak in cask ale. All of the above was accom­plished and felt won­der­ful. As you may have gath­ered by now, I don’t do these travel sum­maries so well (“hey, where are the pics from your move across coun­try?” Com­ing soon…probably) unless it’s in the form of a mix. Ergo, the tunes that set the tone for the trip.

“King’s Cross” Pet Shop Boys
“Stolen Dog” Bur­ial
“Life­forms” The Future Sound of Lon­don
“Bass­cadet (Beau­mon­thannanttwomx)” Autechre
“Faith Healer” Recoil
“Sacred” Depeche Mode
“Nobody’s Diary” Yazoo
“A Lit­tle Respect” Era­sure
“Brat Moj” Laibach
“Back to Nature” Fad Gad­get
“Crys­talised” The XX
“Left of Mother” Curve
“A Huge Ever Grow­ing Pul­sat­ing Brain That Rules From The Cen­tre Of The Ultra­world (Aubrey Mix MK 2)” The Orb
“Marine Radio” Brian Eno & Jah Wob­ble
“On” Aphex Twin
“Sou­vlaki Space Sta­tion” Slow­dive
“Unquiet Grave” Jah Wob­ble & The Invaders of the Heart
“Unfa­mil­iar Wind (Leeks Hills)” Brian Eno

get mer­rie
(again, sorry if you’re using iTunes — no, really, sorry. It’s a hor­ri­ble piece of soft­ware and I can’t make the playlist for you so you’ll have to set it by hand accord­ing to the above.)

As always, awe­some to see my inter­na­tional crew and meet some new ones: Omid & Alan­nah, Chris­t­ian, Paul, Ewa, Jan-Ronald, Clive, John, pk, Cath, Ryan & Char­lotte, and Johnny & Anna.

I do have pho­tos from this trip… I sus­pect I’ll put up the Chicago -> San Fran­cisco pho­tos first, then the Eng­land ones. So, uh, that’s the clos­est you’ll get to a schedule.
