England’s dreaming
Love this remix of God Save The Queen by Neil Barnes, hopefully you’re not sick of the Pistols song as you are the rampant Union Jacking going on. I was near Mayfair last night – I was like ‘is this D-Day?’ with all the flags out along the streets, like some retro episode of Doctor…

Oh and listening to the monster 3-disc…

The photographer/directors name? Anton Corbijn. Great video including shots of London in the mid 80’s…makes me feel all nostalgic. Where’s Night Network to play…
