I think that I am beginning to like 10 Murray Street. For some reason, the building's 1970s aesthetic vibe is starting to grow on me. Every time that I look up at it I feel like growing a moustache, whacking on a pair of bell bottomed slacks (brown, of course), and get myself a winged collar going on.
Maybe it’s the global economic downturn or another crisis in the Middle East™, but it all feels a bit 1973 to me. How that can be is a little strange, because of course 1973 had been done and gone a few years by the time I came along.
So I turn to the world and ask: is 2009 shaping up like 1973? Is that a good or a bad thing?

there's a place in my heart for such buildings.
The worst and most overplayed song on that list, after "Tie a Yellow Ribbon", was "Little Willy". The best, after "Will it Go Round in Circles", was "Drift Away".
Sailor-style patch-pocket jeans with Bear Trap brand sandals and peasant blouses.
I'm sorry, what were we talking about?
2009 - Collingwood didn't win the flag
On the other hand, Slades updated Xmas single should be an absolute classic...
Sue, the UK’s decision to utilise anti-terror laws to secure the assets of Icelandic banks recently bought up some of the ‘goodwill’ last seen during the cod war...
Diva, a mix of tunes there. It’s hard to go past Marvin Gaye’s Let’s Get it On though.
Ken, I am sure that Manhattan has more than one though!
Kitty, they tend to grow on you.
Like skin cancer.
Gogouci, please don’t make me squeal like a piggy.
Magiceye, spot on!
Roddy, in a good or bad sense?
Kiwi, my guess would be... yes.
