The IPOD (Generation?)

I've discovered something rather nice recently. Whilst making my way back to Manly after a hard day's work in the office I like to stick the old IPOD on and walk my way through a busy rush hour in the CBD with some quality tunes playing. Ok, Sydney isn't as busy as London (thankfully) but it's a damn sight busier than North Street in Bristol, which was the scene of my normal commute.

I've found it's the perfect way to unwind before I go onto the ferry and read my book (as if that isn't a perfect way itself - I think I am being greedy!). I've found that it puts me into a bit of a trance. It's pretty mental watching everyone rushing around as you walk along.

Of course, Mr Manuva's "Witness" is a particular favourite.

Anyway, I was thinking how good it made me feel earlier on today when I was on my way home and I thought I'd mention it.

I was wondering if any of you music lovers out there can suggest any good tracks that could be enjoyed during rush hour in a nice big city like this. Do share!

Oh, talking of music, H and I went to see Gomez earlier in the week. I have got three of their albums on my IPOD but I've never really got into them. I just seem to listen to the same couple of tracks occasionally (a bit like Roots Manuva really - I've only ever really listened to Witness but have three of his albums). Chris Cook used to play a lot of their stuff when we lived with him in Clifton. Will and H are big fans though, and although I left the gig early so as to make the last ferry back to Manly (H crashed at Wills), I did enjoy what I saw. Their lead singer has the most incredible voice.
