It occurs to me that we are a good way through the year already, not quite half way, but a good chunk of the year is done and if I don't get my arse into gear my Spotify Wrapped is going to be a little embarrassing in only about 6 months from now.

Time to start playing something "cool" and less of the 80s synth pop and new romantics (and yacht rock if I'm to be truthful).

I'm in my mancave, small glass of Laphroaig in hand, scrolling idly back through my photoblog (which was a popular thing 20 years ago) that I still post to every now and then.

To my right is Windows PC with Winamp running (Winamp is the only reason I still have a Windows PC on my desk) playing Madonna's Ray of Light at 128kbps, that I downloaded off Napster a very long time ago.

I am happy.
