Song of the day - The Streets: Let's Push Things Forward

Gentle reader,

Let's put on our classics and we'll have a little dance, shall we?



I love this song and the video is SO LONDON - grimy, gritty, with funny people who don't realize what a cool city they are living in because they are too busy just surviving.

Your friend,

Buford Twain
