craner is the glistening in her eye from across the room.

lying on a hillside without a care in the world.

the sound of your children laughing amongst the lapping waves.


he is all those moments of true contentedness. he's the moments you'll remember as you take your dying breaths and really appreciate what life was supposed to be.

no, no, no.

it's not about material things. on the surface maybe, but not at it's core. that's what the list has taught me. i thought he was bryan ferry, but he's actually buddha.

Nobody is saying it's about material things. It's an orientation. As I say it's a serious and persuasive argument. I'm not temperamentally sympathetic towards it, but I take it seriously. We were talking about this earlier today.

Hmg sometimes mentions a film I haven't seen but it's essentially a dramatisation, staged as a series of conversations between two old friends over dinner etc, of these two fundamental orientations towards life. I'm a very devout mystic Craner is a kind of Epicurean. But we love a lot of the same r&b.

i suppose the question really is, is there a song (or a life) better than 'if you were with me tonight'?

suddenly all the jungle and the 70's miles and the pharoah sanders and the books and the drugs all mean nothing. they can never be everything to you. they're cold and isolating. you need a cuddle. you need a pretty night's sky. you need the warm sensuality of someone's skin against yours.

That's sometimes the case, particularly when you've got the flu or suffering some other misfortune or injury. There's times when you need to be on earth. There's other times when that feels stultifying and intolerable. When other people feel like ballast. It's interesting that push and pull. You just have to be aware of what phase you're in at any given time and work with it don't you? Sometimes mashed potato and peas but not everyday.

All I can say is I did what you asked. Posted 100 tracks with comments. If you want to snipe about it go ahead. I did what you wanted.

absolutely not sniping. I see some ribbing, but all good natured and only because we're all jealous as hell that we'd never be able to pull something like this off with such...panache!

Bloody hell there was universal acclaim! How much praise can one man absorb and not be satisfied! I literally called it the best 100 of all time. Leo said we'd look back on it in years to come, a happy golden memory. Barty said it had changed his life. Corpsewas in paroxysms of ecstasy. Tbh I'm quite jealous. I mean... what more can you possibly want?!!!
