Psychogeographical Meanderings - Brixton > Soho #4

Late night gig crowds flood out from the Academy. A young Bowie waves hello to his dreams. On the Brixton Road, bombing towards The Oval, an Olympic Couriers cycle courier nearly dies under the wheels of a huge haulage truck. The BMW in front had cut the courier up and he had to swerve out into the middle of the road. That was close...

Ignoring one-way signs and red lights is one thing. Cheating death is another.

Meanwhile, we stride purposefully towards where a carriage has pulled up outside an abandoned house. The batteries on the Sony Walkman fades, 'Because of you' by Kevin Rowland stumbles into silence. The tall figure of Mr Sherlock Holmes emerges from the fog...

The graffiti tags on the wall... RACHE

A change of batteries and tape 'Cupid & Psyche '85' melts into our ears. We can move on, as far as Holmes is concerned
- the case is closed.
