Here, first in an informal series of very small things that I derive inordinate amounts of pleasure from that are almost impossible to properly articulate in words. In Tootsie, right at the very end, a cluster of heartbeats away from Stephen Bishop rounding things off very nicely indeed, and Michael Dorsey (Dustin Hoffman) is trying to explain himself to Julie Nichols (Jessica Lange), and the way he says “We were already… good friends.” There’s something about the way he delivers that line that really does the business.

- Stick around and download a tune or two. If you like what you hear, pop down the record shop and shell out a few bob, you know it makes sense, otherwise you might be forcing countless talented folk into taking a second job, or jacking it in altogether and that ain't right. If you're one of the artists featured and would like any mp3s taken down, contact me and I'll gladly do the do.
