Mixed Signals

This is a first, I am posting from a subway car on the number 4 line in the Bronx. There are extensive delays on the Lexington Avenue line due to signal problems. A very patient train operator is moving the train station to station... If I were composing this on my laptop, I'd embed a Bowie or Kraftwerk link. We riders were advised to transfer to the D or B train at 161st St. If I were composing this on my laptop, I'd embed a dB's link.

I have an hour and a half to get my ass to Brooklyn, I'm not optimistic.

  1. One of the fun things I've found to do on the BART train is to use Broadcastify to listen in on their comms in real time while I'm on the train.

    You might have something similar - it can be very interesting to hear what they're saying when weird shit happens...

    The Grand Concourse was modeled after the Champs Élysées.
