This is the Poetry Postbox in Glasgow's Botanic Gardens. It was created by Julia Smith and was installed in 2007. The idea was you wrote poetry and posted in the the box. I don't think it's still checked and the associated website is no longer active. The post box itself is based on a Victorian Penfold Pillarbox created by the architect J.W. Penfold in 1866. Incidently, this is why Danger Mouse's sidekick was called Penfold!

Today’s listening is ‘Rome’, the 2011 album by Danger Mouse and Daniele Luppi.

The conceit is that this album is the soundtrack to a ‘Spaghetti Western’ film that was never made.

Messrs Mouse and Luppi used musicians who had played on the original ‘Spaghetti Western’ soundtracks and also vintage equipment, which gives this album a real late 1960’s sound.

Jack White and Nora Jones sing on the non-instrumental tracks.

It's altogether a very enjoyable listen!
