The Co-operative // 1600-1700 06.03.11
you got to walk home, baby
I thought I heard the creaking of an ancient ship: ropes and timbers straining to hold it all together. An awful chorus of discordant screeching and scraping, it was, before some final coming-apart. But the sound came not from beyond the windows, nor even the bed where I failed to sleep. I was sickened to discover that the sound came from me, and that I was that creaking ship.
Mick Jackson
This week, Transport is our theme. Cars, trains, planes, spaceships, tractors, hovercraft, pogo sticks - we discuss how we have and haven't travelled, and place the pleasures of boats in their correct order. There's a story about a moral dilemma on board a speeding train. Songs, variations on these themes, including Sun Ra, Elvis, The Young Knives and T-Rex.
Here is a complimentary ticket across cyberspace to our blog. Travel safely.
