Itβs hard to describe the feeling of having nothing to lose, itβs often a romantic description of something that felt far more scary than how you describe it afterwards. To squeeze yourself out of the almost impossible, it always made me feel free, but you can never calculate your way there. And so this was the first album I released on my own label with the help from many people, a person named Martin Dodd being one of them. He lent me the money so I could start up my label and make what really felt and still feels like my first album. IΒ΄m so happy to celebrate it turning 20 years old this year by releasing a new edition of the vinyl. Original cover and new colour on the plate. Et voilΓ !

The view was incredible and there was an afternoon sun all along 53rd st. Not blurry at all.

So far away, but still so near... or at least closer than in a very long time! What a strange joy to announce that I will be playing Way Out West 2022 π«

Congratulations to Andrew, winner of the Body Talk postcard competition that we snuck into the bottom of a mailout last year. It was lovely to receive actual post with memories of the record. Andrew wins some original Body Talk merch I found in storage! #Bodytalk10 ποΈπ

On New Years Eve this year I will be the selector on BBC 6Music between 7-9pm GMT. Thank you 6Music for giving me the maybe best gig ever. It's been a shitty year so it feels special to select music for this NYE which is always, whether we want or not, a symbolic day. I hope you tune in for fire starters and healing tunes. I will be gentle enough!βββ
