Jack #5 – Halfway Home

Jack #5 – Halfway Home

Before I devote my time to a new compilation, there’s a little unfinished business to take care of; a selection of some of my favourite tunes from the first half of 2011. I try and do these most years for my own purposes; this was prepared for the blog during its first spell of existence, but never got around to being uploaded.

Apologies for the slightly dated nature of the selection. I also do a fine line in topical comedy; I’ve got some great Napoleon gags.

The goods:

Stendhal Syndrome - Emma #2



"Stendhal Syndrome, or hyperkulturemia, is a psychosomatic illness that causes rapid heartbeat, dizziness, fainting, confusion and even hallucinations when an individual is exposed to art, usually when the art is particularly beautiful or a large amount of art is in a single place. The term can also be used to describe a similar reaction to a surfeit of choice in other circumstances."

Ivan Mega Post Bananza

SO finally I have done some compilations, pardon for the lateness but hit a compiling rut. Anyway 'Lingua Franca' is a kind of medley of non UK/US artists or at least artists sing in a foreign language.

'I might bicycle' is just s stew of songs that I see as fitting for a cycle bout the place, for various moods and weather it seemed like the kind of thing to do for a Cambridge comp co-op. Anyway easy listenings.
