Have to get my nominations for Albums Of The Year into one of the metal magazines I write for soon, so frantically trying to condense a year's worth of growls, screams and shreds into one week of listening. Mostly none of which is reflected in this smooth, smooth mix.

I suppose the name of the kind of music this blog posts is 'overlooked music'.

Sometimes popular music can be overlooked music too.

Enraged, I leap the tracks in a single bound and lunge for her, but Darcy Bethany just backflips up the wall, and, balancing on the gutter, taunts me in arabesque.

I curse the air with a flurry of battement glissé. I stammer impotently in échappé.

Darcy Bethany just bounces away on the top of lampposts, hands folded behind her back, mocking me in a wordless sing-song.

“La la fucking la!” I scream. “Come down here and dance like a man!”

Her pretty, placid face is a perfect V-sign.

I woke up and I didn’t know where I was, but in the first two seconds that my soul was sucked back into my body it was able to calculate the following information: everywhere around me is pitch black, impenetrable dark. A great volume of air is rushing extremely quickly past me, quicker than any natural force, sucking me. A fist is gripping my hair. My body is horizontal, facing downwards. Only my toe tips feel earth.

I played back our conversations multilayered and speeded-up in my head into white noise and in the scree I fantasised that I could hear orchestras.

The people here have hard, tired faces and they look like they’ve had the sadness sucked out of them. How can you live like that? Without sadness. Without sadness there is no beauty. We may have quaffed the stuff like wine, got raging drunk on it, but when all is said and done the holocausts of our bodies still knew how to appreciate a good painting and a scar.

Songs from CGI kids films, psy-trance, MOR pan-pipe jazz, misogynistic Christian rap-rock, painfully... basic riot grrrl... this could be our most unpopular mix yet!
