| Womanby Street gets into the groove |
Melancholy Wales. Weeping Wales. Free-thinking Wales.
And Cardiff, its cordial center, a catchy chorus of a British song.
City of glorious independent traders selling vintage skates next to tomes of Anna Akhmatova poetry, and bookshops with guest gothic comic books and vinyl. Home of Spillers, "the oldest record store in the world".
Attacking the quotidian with groovy graffiti and an Animal Wall...
Soundtrack: Dying on the Vine by John Cale.
