Mr. Grainger's excursion got me thinking to my own past commute on the no. 63 bus from Peckham Rye to Farringdon and the tunes loosely correspond to that oft-made journey through SE London.
1. Peckham Rye Common: Tropicola by Nino Nardini - the Victorian gardens give way to the lush, verdant expanse of the common, viewed through a soft lens of mist.
2. Rye Lane: Le Serpent by Guem & Zaka - Peckham doesn't bounce to the beat of Del Boy and Rodney anymore. Things are a bit more pentecostal down in SE22 these days.
3. Old Kent Road: Looking Out My Window by Tom Jones - "nothing left but sorrow, nothing left but pain"
4. Elephant & Castle: Oh No! Not The Beast Day by Marsha Hunt's 22 - it can be hellish, stuck, waiting to get over the E&C roundabout.
5. Blackfriars Bridge: Why Can't There Be Love by Dee Edwards - why indeed Dee, why indeed?
6. Smithfields Meat Market: Funk Factory by Rose Royce - something a bit, ahem, meatier!
7. Farringdon Road: That's The Kind of Love I Got For You by Dusty Springfield - I met my sweetheart on Farringdon Road. Dear reader, I married her.
