Sorry, the last few weeks have been hectic in work, and in my peronal life, so the blog has suffered. But I did want to put together another playist, so here’s my summer themed June playlist, or recommendations….
The Decemberists – 16 Military Wives
Great song from Oregon rockers Decemberists. I think the horn sound is summer-ey, along with the peppy drum line. Like it, ear worm.
Gogol Bordello – Start Wearing Purple
Ok, prob the least mainstream entry in the blog ever, but this Gypsy/Punk/Odd as fudge music is perfct for chilling with a beer in a sunny garden, and eventually drunkenly roaring START WEARING PURPLE, Da da da da daaaaaaa…… Give Gogol a go.
Josh Ritter – To The Dogs Or Whoever
My stewardship of Josh is well established, but this kind of kickey folkey music just makes me think of pint bottles of cider, sunglasses and flip flops. In a good way.
Kings of Leon – Notion
Just feels like a summery song. Is on my walking to work playlist.
Baaba Maal – Gorel
Some people think Akon is the pinacle of Senegalese music, but its this guy. Gorel is part authetic Senegal, part Afro-Celt type song, dare I say part 80’s dance, and all feel good summer.
Coming soon, a review of Imelda May’s album, although initial views would be, not as big a fan as I thought I would be. Oh well.
