Friday Playlist
“Turn Up The Sunshine” - Diana Ross, Tame Impala Calling it right now: this is the cross-generational, cross-genre song of the summer. One of my nephews loved Pharell’s “Happy” when he was two. I predict his two-year-old brother is going to be crazy about this song.
“Summer Nights” - Hazel English And this should be the indie rock song of the summer.
“Turn Away” - Sea Lemon I’ve been hanging onto this song for weeks. Just seems like a summer song.
“Other Girls” - Eux Atres The Sea Lemon song made me think of this lovely jam, which I know I played in the earliest days of my long-retired music podcast back in 2004. TWENTY-OH-FOUR!
“Airbag” - Radiohead Last week we celebrated - huh, huh - the anniversary of Japandroids' Celebration Rock. This week, we harken back to 1997 when Radiohead blew our minds with OK Computer. I still remember the first time I heard it all the way through. In time I became a bigger fan of The Bends, but OK Computer remains one of the most important albums of the past quarter decade.
“My Friend Dario” - Vitalic Big weekend for us here in the Racing Capital of the World (self-proclaimed).
“Summertime” - DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince DRUMS PLEASE!
