	<itunes:summary>Random tunes from my &#039;box&#039; - mostly deep, funky, house. Some from my vinyl collection and others from my hard drive.

		<description><![CDATA[As we all know commuting to work adds a certain drudgery to the day&#8217;s proceedings; the stuffy, crowded train carriage where you rattle to work with your head lodged into somebody&#8217;s armpit. Or the freeway that&#8217;s become a carpark in the mid-summer sun, roasting your mind into a gelatinous despair. My commute passes through the [...]]]></description>
