Surburban Sound Clash

There's an element of battle-of-the-bands on the streets of my neighbourhood this Sunday - the recycling truck that offers to take any old electronics crawls through the streets blaring its sweet, repetitive song coming up against the would-be politicians whizzing around in mini Mitsubishi trucks with a stack of speakers and (usually) young uniformed girls leaning out of the window extolling you to vote for them.

However, the smart money is on the yakiimo (baked potato) truck that sets up in the evening.
