Postmodern sea-shanties for those working against the KLOC / urban hymns for the mundane
A throwaway comment (and on FB they're all a bit throwaway. Apart from the ones that aren't) on that there FriendFace led to the concept of 'Urban hymns to (or for) the mundane'. The snatches of post-punk (for me, anyway) gems that accompany the practicalities and in some cases are almost offerings to the spirits of technology in order to ensure a favourable outcome.
Such as the urge to bellow 'PARKLIFE!' out of the bedroom window at the dustmen & recyclers of a Monday morning.
Or (in my case) humming 'Public Image' so as to ensure a productive and mutually satisfactory conference-call or 'webex'.
'Kerosene' is the song of fire lighting.
'Parklife' (again) when feeding pigeons.
