one brain itch, scratched

this has been bothering me for weeks

there's a note on my fridge that says - "top gear, BLUR song - ferrari daytona - just after police stop the car. hammond driving."

i love top gear, partly because of the excellent music selections they play along/under gorgeous footage of gloss-enameled vehicles being driven by enthusiasts

and i pride myself on being able to pick a song within bars... usually

this one nearly killed me and i have expended quite some mental energy trying to figure it out before cheating and using the google

but i had to in the end, and once i found out... the relief is profound

from the excellent trainspotting soundtrack and not present on ANY of the albums i have in my blur collection (and i'm missing a few now - the great escape, and leisure... and i didn't think it wasn't that early - and it turns out it did first appear on leisure)

it's built around a poignant repeated piano phrase, then a bending slow guitar comes up and then it does something else... anyway, the piano opening was what they'd used on top gear and now i've found it, i must share it



with deep thanks to the posters on this top gear forum

enjoy
