Night Time

Today has been doctors and therapists and broken self-service machines with fussy human fixers. It's just past 1am and I plan to let this all wash off; tea with a shot of whiskey included. I made a playlist on soundcloud if you want to join me in chilling, the list is records I've queued up next to the TT for tonight.
1Bonobo
Late Night Tales


Here's the playlist: https://soundcloud.com/hunterbyname/sets/late-night-again
Threw in some hip-hop, bass music, downtempo and ambient. Just recent things I've liked, really.
This is arguably the best in the Late Night Tales series. Benedict Cumberbatch is involved so you know it's at least alright.
2Burial
Kindred


When it first arrived the record was too big for my turntable. I sat there for about 30 minutes sanding down the edges - ruined a good pair of jeans from all the tiny melted wax particles.
3The Cure
Disintegration


Not actually my record - I was lent this by a friend. It still has a note in it from when some ex-boyfriend gave it to her for christmas. I wonder if he ever envisioned it ending up in a repurposed Sainsbury's crate in some stranger's room.
4Radiohead
I Might be Wrong: Live Recordings


The live version of Like Spinning Plates is really, really beautiful. True Love Waits is one of the many fantastic Radiohead b-sides hidden around the place.
5A Winged Victory for the Sullen
A Winged Victory for the Sullen


No reason needed.
6Four Tet
There Is Love In You


Love Cry is one of those songs I can never actually get bored of. Off the top of my head the only other three I can think of are Freak Go Home (Darkside), Lover (Borealis) and Hypnos (Bydub & Loscil)
7Dodos
Carrier


"Death what could could be worse/ if I had something to complain about."
I'm halfway through an essay on Kant's morality, humanity and its effects on the free will. The conclusion will be that the only real free choice we have is suicide. Sucks, you know?
8Boards of Canada
In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country


Man was first in line for the repress. Wasn't much of a line to be honest - I turned up at 11. At least I made the effort, I don't get out in the morning much
9Actress
Ghettoville


Walking back to my flat through St. Pauls: hood up, hands in pockets, absolutely fucked. People were crossing the road and shit. They didn't know the only thing going through my head was "don't stop the music"
10Failure
Fantastic Planet


Only for the songs Blank, Segue 3, Space Song and The Nurse Who Loved Me because they're perfect. The rest is mostly too loud at the moment.
Gonna go make more tea.
