London Calling
Lord Kitchener – London is the Place for Me (MP3)
So that’s it then – in 2 weeks time I’ll be saying my goodbyes to the homely grey Mancunian skies, and heading down to “that fancy London place” to for the next chapter of my so-called life.
And in anticipation of this, I’ve been digging through some London records, and thought these two sum up the mood perfectly. Lord Kitchener, with lovely piece of upbeat calypso, fills me with hope of the possibilities of one of the world’s leading cities, and makes my pasty skin tinge in anticipation of those lovely London summers. The other paints a picture of a different side of the city, the seedy underground of Mile End, where Jarvis Cocker lived after first moving to the city, where “the kids come out tonight / they kick a ball and have a fight /and maybe shoot somebody if they lose at pool.” – Jesus H Christ, is it too late to change my mind?!?
For London-based regular readers (yes, I am assuming we have any), I’ll be resurrecting Best Foot Forward in it’s “nice people drunkenly dancing to bearded people playing records” in some type of London-guise, if anyone’s got any tips, or fancies getting involved, or is at all arsed in any way, send me an email or leave a comment below.
Smell you later Manchester!
