"brittish" is my go-to playlist on my beloved antiquarian iPod (Photo model circa 2005! Bigger than Zach Morris's portable phone and tough enough to knock out a rapist.) "brittish" is like "on-the-go" but better because it's lovingly curated every week to perfectly enhance the Manhattan walking/subway-riding experience. Each of the about 25 songs makes every scene a real-life film and can change the visual perspective from Godard (fave!) to Hopper (existential!) to Bogdonovich (American!). So from now on, every Friday I'll post my current "brittish" list. Hopefully you'll d/load some new songs and hopefully you'll send me some suggestions because I'm always on the look-out.
