I just discovered I own a 4-track remix CD of "Autumn Sweater" by Yo La Tengo. Excellent!

What has pleasantly surprised you recently?

The lady in the newsagent let me have Metro Life magazine from yesterday's Evening Standard for free. That was nice.

Ned sent me a present earlier this week to cheer me up! It was so nice of him, especially considering his Buffy disdain.

I was recently very unpleasantly surprised by a rather 'stiff' looking copy of 'The People, Readers' Wives Calender 2001' which I found underneath my bed. A long forgotten relic left by the former tennant. Urrrrrkkk!

I was pleasantly surprised to find that I make quite an attractive blond.

Sarah was cleaning out our gigantic box of cassette tapes and found an old tape of songs I did on my 4-track and never mixed down. So I popped it in the the 8-track and took a listen, and there are some great songs on there. They must be from about 3 or 4 years ago, and I only remember one of them, the rest are like someone else did them. They've got drum beats I made on this shareware program on my computer, and all kinds of krazy fx on the vocals. One sounds like a lost Smashing Pumpkins demo. So now I'm mixing them down and I'll make a cd-r of them and proclaim it a lost masterpiece.
