Hello my beachside loves
I hope you are enjoying your summer. I have been working seven days a week pretty much, but sometimes I put my workaholic distractions aside and force myself go to the river and begrudgingly engage with the rest of society over a pint. Admittedly, Prague does have music and beer almost everywhere and, while neither are always my cup of tea, every once in a while I come across some darn good music – electronic mainly, but more on that at a future date. This episide we go back to the ’50s and ’60s with some soul, lover’s rock, reggae,and doo wop tunes.
Included is a track I came across a couple weeks ago, thanks to a riverside DJ who was spinning soul and dancehall 45s, and who spun the Katalyst song you’ll hear in this set – a nice little discovery that perfectly reflects my current mood. I’ve always loved the soulful sounds from the past, and my arrhythmic little heart goes back to them very often.
Ideal tracks to play to your crush’s answering machine, or when you’re making hungover Bloody Marys on a rainy Sunday morning, or when you’re smoking weed outside the fifth floor window hating tourists and wishing you were somewhere else. Until next time, stay posi, stay strong, wear sunscreen.
With love from the omniverse, where I’m jamming this all-time classic and lifelong favourite
