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

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.

I especially like the mixture of shame and bewilderment (I really should stop doing it on street corners)

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.

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.

My missus has love letters I wrote her about 13 years ago. They are worse than listening to Dido AND Leona Lewis at the same time.

Whenever Dido's playing on the radio I have to stay away from shotguns

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.

Violets are blue,
I'm looking forward
To sticking it up you."

There are girls on my facebook that have such material, I may have to ask them to burn them just in case.
