I made a fairly concerted effort with this not to try anything too complicated, so we have nine songs and a little bit of talking, and I am eased into the world of podcasting - hopefully it works. The music gets angsty, passionate, collected and laconic, and I say 'er...' quite a lot. Comments very much appreciated; hope it's an enjoyable listen

2. Ghostface - My Guitar
3. New Order - Waiting for the Siren's Call
