LoLomix 3: Airports

Remember being a kid and it being the first time you looked out the window of an airplane? The giddy excitement of watching Dublin turn into toytown? The momentarily shocking realisation that yes, you are suspended in a huge vessel made out of all sorts of metal about half a mile over the sea? It was almost mystical. Nowadays, mysticism has given way to grumpy fucks pulling down the plastic window thing to read about britney spears latest genital mole in closer magazine (its shaped like Kentucky!) while undulating oceans of cloud ripple unnoticed below.

Loreana loves planes and airports, so she has made a smashing new mix about the wonders of flight. I'm about to go on a holiday for a few days (which will involve a plane and Loreana) so the compost heap will remain fairly quiet. I'll put up those albums of the year soon enough (like anybody could give a rats mickey about another list), and business will resume as normal in about 8 days. In the meantime, your exits are located on the front of the plane on the left and the right, and in the case of decreased cabin pressure, for your listening pleasure headphones will drop from the ceiling to be attached to the ears as so...
