And another podcast slips out – what’s gotten into me?
To honour 10 years in the Old Smoke I’ve a two-part podcast for you about London – first one is full of those songs about moving to the Emeraldine city, and visiting Buckingham Palais and going down on Alice, doing the Lambeth Stalk and having a rather (too much of a?) good time, down at the Old Bull and Bush Ye Olde Weatherspoons.
Nah actually we take the sideroutes that only the locals know and the London tunes Nobody Sings (not only a reference to this great documentary, but also a great blog I owe a lot to for these shows, as well as the Wikipedia entry for London songs, and James O’Malley aka @Psythor and his London Musical Map) – and take a journey to the lesser known musical Metropolis. Yes that means no flipping Waterloo Sunset, sorry 😉
No umbrellas, bedknobs, broomsticks or psychotic nannies or chimney sweeps needed…(66Mb, 85Mins)
P.S. Forgot to say the Peter Sellers is for my dad…he loves that track 🙂
