Music
As the nights draw in, our British tendency is often to romanticise life elsewhere, to long for sunnier climes as a circuit break from the drudgeries of late consumer capitalism. Sometimes, it takes a band like the Beautiful South to pull you back down and remind you that even the most exotic locales have their problems. Rotterdam (Or Anywhere) is not an uplifting choice, but other than Jess Glynne’s Jet2 anthem, Hold My Hand, what other song truly conjures such a Pavlovian sensation of crowding on to a budget airline, nervously hoping that all your problems might be solved mid-air?
