Away 2, What Should I Take With Me To The North?

As has become traditional over the last few holidays, the late evenings are occupied with a film from Sky Movies - tonight was a modern favourite of mine, The Day After Tomorrow.

Toward the end of the film, I was reminded of the fact this I've always felt more comforable in the cold. That led to a more disturbing thought - a sort of irrational sense of national pride. That irrational feeling made me put Idlewild's 100 Broken Windows on. [03:20, Track 3, "These Wooden Ideas"]

The only explanation can be found in music:

"We love the Winter/It brings us closer together"
Manic Street Preachers, The Masses Against the Classes, 2000

Is it customary for Scottish bands to sign about the cold? Listen to Build a Fire by the KLF and you'll begin analysing Franz Ferdinand lyrics.
