I’m at home recovering from bronchitis, watching CCTV (as is my wont.) In the middle of a documentary on mammals — just as they were putting a crow in an MRI machine — they started playing FC Kahuna’s “Hayling”. The was one of my favorite songs of 2009. I still find it haunting, every time I hear it.
Just as I was thinking to myself, “There is, like, zero chance CCTV9 paid to license this song…”
…they played The Temper Trap’s “Sweet Disposition” which was one of my other favorite songs of that year and indelibly marked in my mind because of 500 Years of Summer, again, from that same year.
All a surreal reminder of the late Noughties (as the Brits like to call it.)
I also recently had bronchitis, for the first time in my life. Nasty stuff, lasted forever. I hope you are feeling better.
