Good Afternoon

It's been a morning of sleeping and fitting a new kitchen tap, so the computer only just got turned on. First job was, of course, to get you your playlist! So, without further ado, here is you playlist:

Make sure workers don't ever use phones at work, Minister tells businesses

Well no, they don't, because we'd all be up in arms about it. But when we say children shouldn't have phones at school we all nod and agree.

What's the difference? Phones are a distraction. If kids shouldn't have them at school (not even at break times) because they distract from learning, then workers should have the same restrictions because it detracts from working surely?

I bet you can argue a reason why the above statement is wrong. I bet a child can use a similar argument for the impending ban that they'll be getting.

Just watched Norah Jones playing along with Sarah McLachlan and I'm not crying honest.

The whole thing is worth a listen, but I've sent this link to the good bit! The two of them play "Angel" from Surfacing:

I'll understand if you need a moment after this.

Tonight is back on at 21:00 GMT

A planned show about Grammy nominations for best song over the years has been bumped to next week.

Tonight is all about catharsis and loss with remembrance.

Not slow and dreary though (average BPM is 125), just bittersweet.
