As someone asked me (or perhaps it was the voices again) here's the main music that has formed the sound track to the Mexican adventure (playlist titled Mexico Gold):
David Bowie - Hunky Dory (classic)
Bran Van 3000 - Discosis (old skool)
Headland - Touchy Feely (warning: can feature children in song)
Xploding Plastix - Amateur Girlfriends (weird but strangely addictive)
Cocteau Twins - Blue Bell Knoll (for those drifting off moments)
The Egg - Albumen (pre Hotel California margarita nights)
Tracks or albums that I wish I had:
Crosby Stills Nash (and Young) - any
Lloyd Cole - Rattlesnakes
Bill Withers - any
Car Stereo Wars - Broken
Sean Paul - Glue
And whilst I'm at it, here's the reading material I've got through so far:
A Land of Two Halves - Joe Bennett (great background to NZ, many thanks Claire, it's now residing in a 2nd hand bookshop in San Francisco)
English Passengers - Matthew Kneale (you don't have to be Manx to like it)
Love in the Time of Cholera - Gabriel Garcia Marquez (marvellous and two bonus mentions of the 'fragrant garden' on taking a leak after eating asparagus)
Dracula - Bram Stoker (bloody good read...ho ho...
Don't forget the daily knee bends everyone!
