Life moves pretty fast… and I’m now 50 years old. How did that happen?

So I’m no spring chicken… but I feel healthy, happy and very lucky after a memorable few days celebrating the milestone with family and friends.

The Speaking Clock’s “Sodium Yellow Night” LP

In the run-up to this radio show I had recently moved house, so hadn’t had much time for new record shopping. I’m also approaching the big half-century. So it felt timely to go for a theme rather than a selection of new records. Since I was feeling nostalgic I decided to anchor the mix around some early inspirations (New Order and 808 State) and let it flow from there.
