The fingerless gloves are out. I'm listening to some Burt Bacharach to keep me in a happy, chilled mood while I sit at the computer willing myself to get going on some very simple, brainless stuff for uni.

How was I today years old when I learned that one of my favourite Röyksopp tracks ("So Easy"), the first track from their seminal debut album, was a freaking BURT BACHARACH sample ("Blue So Blue"). Anyway. Onwards with the day... if I can get this super basic thing done, I will have chalked up a win!

Bacharach is less known that he used to be. And still underrated. I like his work too.
