Song of the day

"M' Bifé Blues", by Amadou & Mariam. Do not listen to this song while driving. It has an underlying clicking sound that is maddeningly like the sound of your car's indicator. You will find yourself, every few seconds and against all rational thought, squinting at the dashboard to see whether the indicator has switched itself on. You will keep doing this until the song finishes. On the road to Canberra airport, which is presently loaded with enough hazards as it is, this is quite a dangerous thing to do. Curse you, Manu Chao.
