We'd only cry again, say goodbye again

alexsarllNow, of all the monsters I wasn't expecting to see brought back...
I think I liked 'Gridlock', though it wasn't at all what I was expecting; it felt like a 2000AD story given a happy ending (of sorts) by the Doctor's intervention. Possibly one of RTD's best stories? Also: sob.
It's not easy on the nerves DJing at someone else's, successful-with-the-general-public night; far more pressure than at one's own doomed follies. Still, I was on early, for the slow between band sets, so I think it went OK if only because I would have really had to make a hash of things for it to register.
No Regrets - The Walker Brothers
Windmills Of Your Mind - Dusty Springfield
The Sound Of Silence - Simon & Garfunkel
New Art For The People - The Indelicates
-----------------------------------
Nebraska
-----------------------------------
Never Tear Us Apart - INXS
No Children - The Mountain Goats
You Could Have Both - The Long Blondes
Mr Bojangles - Sammy Davis Jr*
And then Luxembourg, roaring into their new incarnation to general public acclaim. It's great to have them back.
Have been doing a lot of London wandering these past couple of days, thinking. Mostly warm and hapy thoughts inspired by the city - but the good thoughts all seem to be as vast and resistant to order as London herself. It's only the bad ones that coalesce into coherence. Like - the new Brunswick is a soul-less pseudo-metropolitan horror if ever I saw one. Like - those slides at the Tate really didn't use the space as well as they might (though the exclusive Long Blondes track upstairs is pretty good).
*I was actually trying to play Leonard Cohen, and didn't notice one of the tracks had been crossed out.
