#37 - From Spain

Updates

It is freaking hot. I've spent most of the week working with fan pointed at me and plenty of cold drinks on the go.

We're kitting out a new place for AirBnB so there have been plenty of trips to buy bits and pieces, and make the place look good. More news to follow on that.

The news cycle has been heavy again this week, and I've been revisiting the principle of making sure my news intake is not too doom laden.

Reading: Confessions of an Irish Rebel by Brendan Behan.

New DJ Mix

Before I left Ireland, I put a new DJ mix online, I'm super pleased with the way this one came out. Ninety-ish minutes of gently progressive, bouncy house music.

Recommended Music

My musical recommendation this week is the SoundTrack to 'Mudtown (Ar Y Ffin)' by Gazelle Twin. Mudtown is a six part British crime thriller being shown on the U&Alibi channel in the UK, I haven't seen it yet - but give the soundtrack I'm going to seek it out.

It's a tense and unsettling album - but worth the investment, some great sounds along the way. If you're a fan of Gazelle Twins work, then this is a must-listen, but also a good entry point into some of their darker work.

Highly recommended.

Note - I am testing out using these Odesli enbedded links for music recommendations on my site which allow you to choose your streaming platform and also find the artist links for vinyl purchases etc
