lounging in the T Dot..............

Toronto & it's surrounding suburbs is a huge city - as you fly in it stretches forever & the flight in last night in crystal clear skies was beautiful. We are here for a few days & on Friday a very good friind of mine flies into town to hook up again with his lovely g/friend. We are all going downtown T.Dot on Saturday which will be fun - i have really enjoyed the few visits i have made to this City, it's cosmopolitan, clean, cold & we should get a bit of Xmas shopping done - alternatively we may just spend the day touring the bars of Little Italy/Kensington etc

As internet access is a bit hit & miss I will waste no time with No.21 in my songs of the year. Venerable indie schmindie dance troupe Saint Etienne have always been at the forefront of my musical tastes, year after year they steadily churn out great, under-rated albums & this years "Tales From Turnpike House" is no exception.

Side Streets is an ace track from this LP, as Sarah Cracknell delves into the delights & perils of taking the short cut home. Not an obvious song subject but it works I reckon.
