Tower Block Office

dotintheskyI'm doing two things today I've never done before:
1) working from home
2) visiting a police station to hand in criminal evidence of a robbery
My temporary office, located in a charming tower block that overlooks the East End, has run out of coffee and biscuits; a trip to the cornerstore may be in the cards. I've got All Flashback Alternatives playing on my iTunes, and it's currently The Chameleons' "Singing Rule Britannia". Now it's The Cure's "Push". It's a radio station that plays the contents of my head.
I heard The Chameleons for the first time while in Paris, a few weekends ago. Kevin and I were having an incredibly expensive pint of beer in a bar in Marais, and they were playing one of their albums in full. I was slightly outraged that I'd never heard of them before! It's like all my favourite bands and sounds wrapped into one package. See, just when you think life can't surprise you, something comes along and knocks you off your feet. Never presume you've seen (and heard) it all.
Fuck about... they are now playing Howard Jones' "Things Can Only Get Better". Didn't I tell you this radio station matched my brain?!
Ok, I better go and do some work. Be back soon. Upcoming topics: The Cure's latest singles; songs by The Chameleons; 80s nights in London; Joyce Carol Oates rocks my boat; and which biscuits go best with tea.
