It's happy clappy pop, but goddamn it 'tis the weather for it. Listen to the Guillemots' Train to Brazil for some fun.

Another song you can listen to in this post is in reference to Fergal from Tuppenceworth's post about Bobbie Gentry's Ode to Billy Joe. He says: "In fact, it is an example of one of my favourite types of records, those that are so utterly at odds with the prevailing rules of pop that they'’ve been and gone from the charts before you realise just how very peculiar they were." Couldn't have put it better myself.

A few observations on London today:
1. It was hot
2. Lots of iced coffee to be seen
3. Black people in the shade
4. White people getting scorched
5. High street shops were "plódaithe le daoine"
6. Oxford Circus was a no-go area
7. London parks are the dog's bollocks
8. Borough Market is the only place to be on a Saturday morning

I leave for the US tomorrow to do a week's work so my posting will be sparse if not non-existent.
