description:

I feel good today, but not jumping up and down good, rather the kind of good where I feel just a little sad as well. Sad that people I have loved are either not in my life any more, or mostly not on the planet anymore. When the good stuff happens, however content I may temporarily feel, it is always tempered by just a thought for the ones who couldn't make this trip, and also the ones who didn't want to. Too much sadness is unhealthy, so this is a shorter mix than usual, it is just long enough.

2	Miles Davis : Will o' the Wisp
	Torqs, he was a Will O' The Wisp. The word enigmatic was personally reserved for him. He had this laugh that stayed with you long after he had left. It is with me now, a long time since he died. He made me smile, but there was this sadness about him that I only began to notice when it ewas too late. Too wrapped up in myself you see. Play for my friend Miles. SHOW MORE

3	Pink Floyd : The Great Gig in the Sky
	Now P, she and I were chalk and cheese, diesel and gasoline together, but sometimes the sparks that flew were good sparks, erotic sparks. We would lay together while this played, travelling from joy to sorrow without missing a beat... SHOW MORE

4	Mogwai : Katrien
	K and I, well. She used to say she was glad she was not me, I used to breathe a sigh of relief that I was not her. When I looked at her, I saw her younger sibling, the brother she loved, that I loved. There was just this one night, I was stoned and trying to hide it, and I looked at her and for the only time I saw how beautiful she was. Not because of who she reminded me of, but because of who she was. For that moment in time, I was glad she was my friend. There was never a hint of anything sexual, she would probably have thrown up at the very thought, but for that one brief moment, I felt that I was lucky to know such a person. SHOW MORE

5	Brian Eno : Deep Blue Day
	Boys miss their Mums, however old they are, and if we are honest, we miss the things that embarrassed us when Ma was around. I know that I would squirm when my mother had an outbreak of pride over something I had done. The stupid thing is that I had a small victory today, just a little one, but my first for ages really, and I missed the smothering attention I thought I loathed. Whenever I was headed for the coast my Mum would be sure to ask me to say hello to the deep blue sea for her. This beautiful music is a reminder, of the love she had for me, the love I feel for her.

6	Philip Glass : Island
	Philip Glass has always made music ideal for looking out of train windows to. Just for a moment I thought of someone I used to share train rides with. Listening to this music now, I back there in that space and time for a while with someone I can never see again. I know, selfishness creeping in again, but unlike her now, I am only human. SHOW MORE

7	Michael Nyman : The Promise
	I have broken many promises along the way, but today I took charge of the things that matter most in my life, a promise I had made to someone with a Celtic heart and jazzers soul who left this place a few years ago. SHOW MORE

8	John Frusciante : Song To Sing When I'm Lonely
	Music with lyrics finally. Fitting as I am sitting here in my kitchen doing the very thing I criticize people of my age for doing. Remembering and feeling sad, but I can't enjoy the good without a touch of sad. That's how I'm built. SHOW MORE
