A mixtape made for Jenni Scott
"This is a happy tape, full of energy. Andy put the Gala and the Aqua songs on for me specially because I liked them a lot, despite/because of them being silly euro pop-rock-top 40. I love the stompingness of 'Freed From Desire', and the fact that it seems to be a song about Zen Buddhism or something -- 'freed from desire, mind and senses purified'. And what better way to finish a happy, upbeat, poppy tape than with bis?"

* This is the Norman Cook remix of Brimful of Asha -- there's about four different ones on the Cornershop single, but this is the one that shot them to fame for that time. They were cross that their own, slower, mix didn't do for them, apparently.
** I've put the album version of Sexy Boy on this collection, sorry, though Andy's tape had the single version.
This is great - been listening to it this morning and it's similar enough to one of my own gadget playlists I didn't realise it wasn't for a while. Sublime!
