I spend my night dancing with my own shadow

It's Friday! It's about three o'clock! It's time to Boogie At Your Desk!

( You what? )

If you like the track, go out and buy the album it belongs to - I'll try and recommend a suitable CD to purchase for any BAYD track.

The link to the mp3 will expire at some point in the future.

Today you are invited to Boogie At Your Desk to:

Of Monsters And Men - Mountain Sound [link to mp3 download expired, YouTube link may still be active]

If you listen to 6Music's breakfast show, you'll already know this. Time after time, before Christmas I sat up in bed[*] and went "oh yes, Of Monsters And Men, I've wondered about this before".

Anyway, as part of an attempt to patronise HMV I've finally bestirred myself to buy the album, My Head Is An Animal. It's cheerful-sounding Arcade Fire-lite, and I'm quite enjoying it.

[*] The radio is on a high shelf, and I have to sit up in order to see the scrolling text which tells me what song is playing. Some mornings, curiosity as to who's singing is all that gets me out of bed ;)

How long will I slide, separate my side

Hmm. This morning, I very probably shouldn't have gone to work. However, Monday's forecast snow was a non-event, the weather didn't look that bad, and I'd promised to deliver something to the office for one of my colleagues. So off I went.

Walk to Ealing Broadway in the lightest of light dustings of snow. Catch train to Reading. Arrive at Reading. Collect bike.

( And that's when it went wrong )

And do you know what? I still love snow. As I arrived at work, I stopped to watch a red kite wheeling around the sky, snowflakes tumbling all around it. Even Reading looks pretty in the snow :)
