I love it when Ronan talks about dance music. It's partly the joy in the voice, but it's also that he explains why it makes him feel so great, and I share and identify with some of that.

Yes, I've got this, and it is brilliant, the soundtrack to imaginary World Cup winning celebrations. A Jon Carter mix is always a treat, and this is especially welcome for making "you feel really alive" (no need to apologise for that phrase), because if dance music doesn't do that then what's the point? And recently it hasn't.

I've always thought that "big beat" became complete toss as soon as some journalist labelled it, but before that there was a feeling that any music could be played as long as it was fun to dance to, so dub and latin funk were as much a part of the mix as acid hop lager anthems. Viva Bugged Out! is a triumphant return of this attitude, as good and eclectic as Carter's Heavenly Social mix (recommended if you can still get it).

And Ronan, you're right about Lazy, that has to be deliberately calculated to wreck people's Saturday nights. And you're right about Good Life too, you may not be the first person to call it unconditionally beautiful but some things are so true they need restating.

Thanks Mike!

It's cool to know people are reading and care, you need to download the George Harrison moment!

I love his Heavenly Social thing too, absolutely love it. "Yo I'm the magnificent with the sensational style and I could on and on for like a mile a minute"
