This is so relaxing.
I've been listening all day long in my office, and all night on very low volume while I'm sleeping. Unlike other lofi auto-plays, this one stays on character and never plays something outside of a mellow range-- slightly relaxing/ slightly energetic. No piano music, classical guitar, hip-hop with vocals, just lofi.

Lots of Americans have heard the Tracey Ullman version of this song, but only our Brits have heard the original, from the late great great great great Kirsty MacColl. She was only 16 when she wrote this song. I love the high pitched "baby!" at the end of the bridge. I read that Tracey Ullman could not reach that note, and the "baby!" on her version was only reached through studio trickery - which in 1983 meant she recorded a "baby!" at a lower pitch, separately, and they sped it up and stuck it into the middle there. That's what they had to do, before autotune. |

MacColl married a guy named Steve Lillywhite. I wonder how much harassment and grief that name brought him.

He survived it well because he became one of the greatest record producers of all tiiiiime
He produced the first three U2 albums He produced Peter Gabriel "3" and developed (along with Phil Collins) the drum sound that would represent the entire 80s He helped kicked off the careers of Psychedelic Furs, XTC, Ultravox, Pogues, Thompson Twins, Simple Minds, Big Country Did later work with the Stones Tolerated Morrissey for parts of his solo career More recently Dave Matthews And he made some great records with Kirsty. In which she does, like 6-part harmony in places, it's quite good stuff |

No problem, he's had a great career, made major money, probably got some impressive autographs.
 Plus if that wasn't enough he looks like a damn male model. I guess it's true, with a name like

I feel the same way about bassist Joe Dart, except after seeing him play it, I just say, oh, no, I might be able to play that, but it would take about three straight weeks of practice
