so if i quit ragging on se8 for a while and look out of my window, turns out it can look quite magical…

but then so can anywhere in the snow, i guess.

yessurp, we wannabe cockneys and layabout sloanes woke this morning to snow in the big smoke and i doubt theres one amongst us who didn’t have a childish urge to grab a tea-tray and go scooting down primrose hill.

but bus and tube rides (and the nagging thought of a credit card bill) later and i’m here at daytime hq trying to suppress the urge to call for a “team building” snowball fight in regents park.

luckily, k over the sea at analog giant posted a tune which warmed me from the insides.

new for oh-seven from the consistantly delightful ubiquity stable this joint, redollent of my personal favourite chopper up-er of beats and samples, a man called horse, and equally the suave (though way more dubious) serge gainsbourg comes ’song for david’ from shawn lee’s ping pong orchestra’s third album, ’strings and things’.

enjoy it, from its stormy opening to pinging crashy cymbals and reverby steel stringness right through the western landscape of near greensleevey harmonica and psych-y bass to the jazzy piano and spaced out strings, just like i did.
