Recently, in order to save money and bring some sort of healthiness back to my alcohol and late-night addled body (ignore the fact that it is currently 2.30am and yes, I have had a few), I have taken to walking almost everywhere. It's been 6 days and I am thoroughly enjoying it, and it is probably largely down to endorphins but I have also been listening to loads of albums that I haven't in ages, and that is also making me feel f****ng awesome.
There are 3 that have been topping my list.
The first is Lack's Saturate Every Atom. This makes my walk more of a swagger, but I do feel dreadfully embarrassed and like a totally knob every time I walk in front of an oncoming car or trip up on the pavement.
Second in Joanna Newsom's The Milk Eyed Mender which makes the walk more like a curious stroll where each corner I turn is stranger and more interesting than the previous.
And the third is Red Sparowes' At the Soundless Dawn. God knows why I thought I would start walking to this, because I haven't listened to them in approx. 3years and my music taste is completely different to what it was then. But the impending doom and end of the world vibe makes for a super-quick/frantic walk and every stumble over the pavement just adds to the drama.
Basically, London is effing great to walk around with good music. Perhaps I have the right imagination, but those drunken walks from Euston to Old Street, or late afternoon strolls through Farringdon have completely made my week.
Hooray!
