Like the McFlah family we now know that bump #2 is a boy – I’m not going to play naming games as the control freakery would do my head in..
..but it is a chance to add another playlist, hopefully one that doesn’t put off the non-family orientated- and adds some extra very North tunes.
Kids - The Concretes
I Can’t Tell In His Eyes - Wildbirds & Peacedrums
Little Kids - Kings Of Convenience
D(Darren Emerson’s Underwater Remix) - GusGus
Cry Baby (Röyksopp’s Målselves Memorabilia) - Spiller
Why I Like Babies - Butcher Boy

Enjoy!
there’s a BABY BOX of tunes over on my test site.. if you fancy more.
Super picture, it’s a really clear scan.
he’s got your eyes, i think
congrats!
Congratulations Shane!
thanks all –
I’ve been told by the tied puking boss that I didn’t do a lot!
You had to tie her down?
Many congrats to family Shane! Won’t be long before we are outnumbered by the next generation of ‘Spillers.
tied – ummm!
I think I meant tired.
Two boys! two boys! TWO BOYS! TWO BOYS! It’s a lot of fun.
Congratulations, Shane!
could you say that in Swedish?
skøll øfen strüh
Congratulations the the Shanes!
you don’t look Swedish Ejd!
but thank you.
Warning: May not be real Swedish.
that’s why my translator guess at Russian!
Thank you to my esteemed faux-swedish colleague for the translation.
I can make you a bumper sticker to affix to your volvo and/or ikea furniture.
I’m so happy for you, Shane. For me the nausea went away at 12 weeks. Hope Mrs. Sane feels better soon.
cheers steen
Ru had been waiting for week 12 and… still sick (19 weeks now.. allegedly) but the last couple of nights has been a big improvement, so everything crossed!
I still can’t believe you were asked to pretend to be Swedish – it makes me smile every time I think about it.
But I’m cuffed to bits (and I think Ms.Sane will be.. just very peeved at the moment)
Congratulations Shane, and what a lovely picture. Hopefully Mrs Shane’s puking will go away soon.
the last few nights has been better actually.. but it’s been so much worse this time, fine during the day but ill as soon as she comes home (and sees me?) sleeping and being sick for the last 3 months has taken it’s toll.. fingers crossed it keeps improving.
Tuesday was great.. got z-boy out of school to come and see the scan, so he could be part of it, really bouncing to see he had a little brother.. then we went to see Mick Jones – The Rock & Roll Public Library and played in the empty playgrounds… how much fun can you have when you should be a school/work.
Congrats Shane!
I actually bought “React Or Die” recently – have been vaguely looking for an opportunity to squeeze a Butcher Boy track in somewhere Spillish. Lovely song. (Will investigate the rest of the playlist anon.)
I was saving this Butcher Boy for my next Christmas post – but it’s been fast tracked.. posted a few for steen a while back.. really enjoy them.
Have you got their “Eighteenth Emergency” single/EP thing? If not, I’ll ‘Box the tracks from that at some point. It is just lovely.
no I haven’t – that would be great.
Carpe diem an’ that – have put it in an RR dropbox subfolder. Will leave it there for a day or two…
thank you. having a play now.
Congrats from me too, Shane. Hope the missus feels better soon, and can get in some good ol’fashioned blooming before the big day.
Rich – I did a double take on Tuesday.. realizing I wouldn’t have to go on e-bay, because we have saved or lent out all of z-boys stuff over the last five years, and can reel it all back in.. your explanation of user name ‘DsD’ has stayed with me from the start.
Glad to hear it Shane, and genuinely pleased to make my own tiny contribution to the sane family finances!
Now if you don’t mind, I’ve got a router to smash up …
free hammer here that I use at such moments!
Congratulations family Sane! Wishing you four walls and adobe slabs for your boys.
I’m hoping to add an extra straw bale room – so you are not far off.. cheers.
I love that “X-Boy” at the top of the scan picture – seems he’s got his cool superhero name sorted out already – congratulations Shane!
always name kids so the graphics/ typography will look cool on the record sleeve.. even if they are only X so far!
Congratulations; great picture, who does he take after?
Ridley Scots alien – don’t they all!
Congratulations, Shane family. Is it really control freaky to be thinking of names? Hope Mrs Shane shakes the sickness soon. And don’t try saying THAT in a hurry.
the control freakery is other people suggesting names – - we will have enough opinions between the two/three of us… Z-boy thinks ‘Bounce’ is cool… so the less ideas the better really!
Congratulations Shane! Great news!
Congratulations; and it’s nice to have some news to celebrate, rather than more death and misery.
cheers .. it is a change to have good news.
Hooray for Shane and Mrs Sane! XXXX
ta… TFD
Not sure where I got this piece of brilliance. Anyone?
don’t know where you got it – but it’s pretty fantastic.
I have it too, but don’t remember sharing it, so maybe it’s one of those things like how the wheel was invented in different places or around the same time. Does yours mention Martini & Jopparelli ‘s Music Selections in the comments?
Yes! What does that mean?
It’s oddly labeled in my itunes, which usually means I got it from a spiller or from a sample set or something similar.
I have 3 other songs with the same comment added to my library at the same time. Apparently it’s from this blog
http://music-selections.com/
By the way, I wore my owl T-shirt last weekend and I got a lot of compliments, especially from my illustrator of an uncle, it was gushing.
That blog is a treasure trove! Some wonderful stuff on there. I foresee many wasted hours…
Thanks for the owl news. Maybe Malcolm and I should write a children’s book together, and make that the main character. We’ve already started on the merchandising.
The M&J blog is awesome. Huge nostalgia trip for me here- scroll down a bit and there’s a reference to a Brubeck/Mulligan/Desmond album called We’re all together again (for the first time): I wore out my local library’s copy over 20 yrs ago with repeated listens to the awesome version of Take Five, which has a kickass drum solo by Alan Dawson. (Seeing as we once discussed the relative merits of Take Five drum solos) It’s on spotify, solo gets going around 9:30. Practise your air drumming.
Boom woosh brrrrap tsss, that drum solo is something else! The whole performance has so much energy.
Congrats shane!
Steen, that George Freeman clip is funky frownin’ good.
Really lovely pic! My friend had to have the mucal fold (?) scan done twice as the first time the baby was doing jazz hands and wriggling around too much. Naturally with the jazz hands we have now nick-named it Kurt, after too much Glee! Babies everywhere at the mo, it’s lovely to see everything going well xxx
Just stopping by to agree with Tracy (on the babies everywgere/lovely front, as opposed to the jazz hands)!
snowed in during January + the price of heating fuel = spog overload!
