Track 12

Shopping Trolley by Beth Orton
From Comfort of Strangers (Astralwerks/2006)
There were a few more songs I could have included from COS if I wanted to get carried away, but this one was my top dog favorite. I had originally intended to end Slinky Bombast with it – mostly because of its lovely tone of optimism in the face of a really lousy day - but in the rock/paper/scissors world of mix tape track ordering, The Howling Wolf trumps the willowy English singer-songwriter ten times out of ten.
