I've been trying to track down a chillout tune that I managed to lose a couple of years ago. All I knew about it was the vocal "It ain't always umbrellas in the rain" and that it was a chillout tune.

Having given up searching for it, I still decided to drop "umbrellas" into the iTunes store's search toy today - result: up popped Helicopter Girl's "Umbrellas in the rain"! It's not the mix I remember but it's damned close, so in the basket it went. Result - one very happy greyhead.

The tune's in the iTunes store, and you might also want to check out Helicopter Girl's album - here on Amazon.co.uk - if you're into your chillout. You can read more about Helicopter Girl - aka Jackie Joyce - on Discogs dot com, or read Stylus Magazine's review of her from a couple of years ago.

If you're not into chillout, then what are you doing reading this post?

I need to stop...

  • Getting drunk
  • Getting drunk and dancing
  • Getting drunk and dancing with people I know
  • Getting drunk and dancing with people I don't know
  • Getting drunk and dancing with road cones
  • Getting drunk and dancing while grinning
  • Getting drunk and dancing while frowning
  • Getting drunk and dancing while gurning
  • Getting drunk and dancing with my face uncovered at all
  • Getting drunk and thinking I'm sexy
  • Getting drunk and thinking I'm sexy while dancing
  • ... or while falling over peoples' feet
  • Getting drunk and entering into conversations on topics such as the point of advertising in a heavily saturated student-orientated market.
  • ... or entering into any conversations at all for that matter. With anyone.
  • Getting drunk and ... Sod it, no more drinkies for me.
  • ... or not. Whatever... ;o)

Next week: things I need to stop wearing while drunk.

'Ello! I'm Alex, and I'm one of the mysterious and slightly-shady figures know as "Sabbatical Officers" - my job title is something like Media Whore, and I divide my time equally between upsetting students, annoying staff members, tweaking the UP ... (read more).
