There are generally only two reasons a person is still awake at this ungodly hour. They are either young whippersnappers who have just arrived back after a night out clubbing or they are reaching that age where sleep don't mean nuttin'. For accuracies sake I should state that I am not in the former of those two categories...

19,000 and something for me and I am often awake until the wee small hours these days too Dave (well after 3.00 last two nights) - its my bloody Harbeths, I don't want to turn them off. It really is hard to stop myself listening to my latest music purchases through them
Maybe if I stop buying so much music I can get some sleep?

I know exactly where you are coming from Tim. My nemesis, if I can call it that, is new music. Since I discovered Blue Mind by Anne Bisson on Spotify I have been piling through the Related Artists feature finding fantastic artists and albums galore. Currently listening to Hotel Paradise by Josefine Cronholm & Ibis. This is a 'must listen' by the way, the entire album is out of this world and the bass is extraordinary...Originally Posted by Tim
