In Celebration of Some Sunshine.

Don't-complain-about-the-weather-resist-tempta... oh damn it!

If you must live in Wales then surely you're asking for all the trouble, rain sodden trouser bottoms and unoriginal sheep jokes that get thrown your way. I should be grateful that my health kick has been nicely sabotaged by the unceasing drizzle and gloom - that instead of wandering, er-hem, that is to say power walking (powerfully) around the countryside, flinging myself into bushes to dodge cars, I've been forced to stay in (with crisps) catching up on films . Days in with 'In Bruges' and the like aren't so bad really - so what if nipping out to the off licence gets you a bit damp?

Low and behold here comes the sun though, and to celebrate here's some nice summery records:

• Pains of Being Pure at Heart- Young Adult Friction -Distilled sunshine, park benches and furtive fumblings in a cup.
• Tom Vek - Nothing But Green Lights - Clangs about a bit but makes a nice understated point.
• Asobi Seksu - Strawberries (Ulrich Schnauss remix) - Fey music for celestial nights.
