Today’s playlist (drawn from my current iPod tracklisting below)…
* the totally brilliant Hide and Seek by Immogen Heap
* the totally brilliant (do you sense a theme developing here?) HoppÃpolla by Sigur Rós
* the intriguing Samson by Regina Spektor, and
* the foot-tapping but slightly cheesy Electric Dreams by Phil & The Human League
