Radka put up some more very impressive pictures of the recent Prague floods here. Go take a look. I think they explain the semi-Apocalyptic tone of my last post rather well. The rain has stopped now and I have temporarily suspended building the ark on our roof. I think the State of Emergency is over, in the city at least. The Metro is still not working, lots of parks are still closed off. I feel a strange urge to go and listen to the Sisters of Mercy now. And why not? It’s been a while since I heard This Corrosion.
I would have thought some John Foxx – Europe After The Rain?
A good choice but perhaps lacking in the appropriate Gothic doominess, I feel.
At least it wasn’t “When the Levee Breaks” by Led Zeppelin.
Let’s hope so, Damon :). The local government spent a small fortune on flood control systems after 2002.
Damon, I actually asked my friends for storm and/or flood songs to make a Prague Flood Playlist: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNkWp3Kg78E&list=PLLPnIgSlhXwFuxVBM33MqnThNwU4UyEk0
