Sitting in a bar, reading transhumanism and critical culture theory (Merleau-Ponty stuff: how we know things solely through our bodies). A faint smell of sewer and piss is in the air. Music plays: it's Julie London's "Cry Me A River". It just happens to be #MyFavouriteSong.

An intoxicated fellow appears and asks me, if I'd be willing to buy a (stolen, apparently) bicycle, that happens to be in a huge discount.

Such a beautiful moment.

#RichardSmith brings you #MyFavouriteSong a series of shows created with help from Matthew Rolland of @HRReading.
