Last night after a day teaching hard and getting the necessary paperwork done in in a humid flat I fell asleep on my bed listening to an Al Green album playing on the turntable in the living room. I woke at eight and made my way downstairs to my desk in a slightly bemused state. I'm never at my best when I sleep during the day. At my desk I switched on my desk lamp found a new album at random and started listening. Found myself charmed and transfixed.
I fixed muself a basic supper and came to the desk and listened on as night fell. The album in question was Cancionera by Natalia Lafourcade. It drowned out the half hearted efforts from the lads outside my window to get football chants going on a Friday evenimg in Newcastle and spun its spell old school and flew me across the world down Mehico way.
