Sunday night was the proverbial nightmare. After a busy day with Clan K, I'd started working around 9.00pm. The usual sorry reasons: it's been a really heavy couple of months for a whole host of reasons, with more of the same promised for this week. Doing "a couple of hours" on Sunday was supposed to get one particular project completed and a sense that I was well positioned for this week's onslaught.
Except it turned out not to be "a couple of hours" in the end. I was vaguely aware when Mrs. K called time and went to bed; I was less aware of the ticking of the clock as I carried on working. Until I looked at the time and it was a few minutes before 3.00am.
Three and a bit hours of sleep then straight into the weekday rush with Clan K to get out of the house and then on to work proper. It's been a loooooooong day...
When I got home, the postman had kindly delivered this pair of beauties, volumes 5 and 6 of the Heavenly Remixes collection on CD. A mix of new(ish), classics and - inevitably - Andrew Weatherall, it's another winning selection and one which I'll dip back into for a future selection.
For today, however, track 3 on Volume 6 was just the ticket. A remix by Australia's Confidence Man of Spanish garage rock duo The Parrots with the couldn't-be-more-aptly-titled It's Too Late To Go To Bed.
Heavenly indeed.
