# Yay for mix tapes!
I still have the first one I ever made.

It's title - rather touchingly, and surprisingly not-THAT-embarassingly-for-a-14yo is "The Psychedelic Emotions Of a Two-Dimensional Teapot".

Christ that's embarassing.

TOP TIP: If you meet an ex-girlfriend that you used to go out with during your teenage years, you have a coffee at hers and she offers to show you the letters you wrote her, DON'T read them.

I burnt every shred of evidence of my teenage other half. Best thing I ever did, really closed the whole affair for me, surprisingly refreshing

# You know something lovely happened to me the other day:
I walked past a woman on London bridge, and she was wearing the same perfume that my girlfriend when I was 16 wore. It was like being slapped about the face and neck with a photograph album. I spent a good hour nostalgically mentally rambling.

# Erm ... Ahem.
Well - I haven't listened to it for about 10 years, but I seem to remember backing up New Model Army with the Bangles, and Lyle Lovett to Tom Petty.

It also has a "mix" section at the end, where, sans decks, I recorded, then painstakingly rewound to the cut, snippets of songs, including the lyric from St Elmo's Fire "You broke the boy in me, BUT YOU WON'T BREAK THE MAN!"

I found one the other week I'd called "The best Welsh album in the world...ever!" One side it was a selection of Catatonia, the other side Stereophonics.

Let alone have a whole album, unless you were going to call it "Catatonia - XXXX/Stereophonics - XXXXX".

Purist, I tell you. Not a precocious little shit at all, no.

# Yeah I'm trying to think: Moose, Morrow, Nelson, the chap they've got now.
The bass sound has always maintained the right feel, though. But yeah - I'd not thought of it like that.

I do remember a drummer friend pointing out that Smalltown England is a jazz beat, though.

Don't know how long he was with them, but he did a rather nice job of recording us lot. Made us sound better than we were.

# i once moved into a new flat and found a love letter under the mattress.
it was mostly dross but ended with a poem which i can still remember to this day:

Your eyes the colour of honey,
Your skin as smooth as silk,
When I get you in my bed,
I'm going to take you to the hilt.
