Try It (Heritage Railway)
We visited the Epping To Ongar Railway on Saturday as a prelude to a family meal in Essex. I won’t go on about the vinyl records of Epping’s charity shop (funk!) but I will recommend the railway for anyone who even slightly has an interest in Ye olden Dayes as I’m not a train person and I enjoyed it. Great stations full of interior design to keep me taking photographs and the train experience was fun. Here are some visuals along with new music that has been in my ears recently:

The Frank Ocean deserves all its hype.
A train, recently.
Michael Nyman & David McAlmont – Secrets, Accusations & Charges (Max Cooper Reconstruction) from Nick Cobby on Vimeo.
A beautiful song that can bring tears to my eyes is now something very different but just as hypnotic.
This is not my usual train.
Jessie Ware’s debut might be one of my Top Debuts of 2012. Coming soon!

Jamie played this in the car last week, I missed out on it when it came out earlier in the year. Extremely catchy!
Great knobs.
I bought a load of Jimmy Somerville EPs this week. his ‘new’ stuff is pretty good.
Trundling through the countryside.
Lianne La Havas’s album is one of those Summery things perfect for this heat.
Destination: North Weald.
An oldie but goodie… I only knew this song from the Pet Shop Boys version which I didn’t realise was a cover of this Bobby O record.
Lubricants.
Pet Shop Boys version of Try It… so much more interesting than their new single.
Impressive bridge.
