In the office


I work in an office. Like many people who work in offices, I lack spiritual fulfilment.

I would heartily recommend the album Gulag Orkestar by Beirut. I find myself moved every time by the plaintive voice of NY troubadour Zach Condon accompanied by a roustabout Balkan-style orchestra. I am not a music journalist.
It has joined my top five favourite albums. I will post the other four when I know what they are.
That should be accolade enough. If not, you can listen to it on iTunes or here. There are also some videos on Youtube but the quality is terrible. Just buy it.

When the revolution comes I will send a copy to every household in the country.
