Starting a revolution from my bed
to listen to in this weather. Currently sunning myself in the garden whilst we've got our week of summer. Just listened to Primal Scream's Screamadelica and it's helped to set a balmy, chilled out tone, but where do I go next?

NSC decides.

A great "sunshine" album is the new Kurt Vile long player called Wakin on A Pretty Daze.

Owiny Sigoma Band - 'Power Punch' Traditional Kenyan musicians collaborate with some very talented London funk/blues specialists. The result is ideal for a warm summer and very listenable

Ultra Vivid Scene "Joy 1967-1990" to these big ears is one of the most criminally overlooked summer albums.

rapid sample of album available here:

http://www.allmusic.com/album/joy-1967-1990-mw0000308076

their review:

Kurt Ralske claimed that the title of Ultra Vivid Scene's second album was meant to be the inscription on a 23-year-old woman's tombstone. While Ralske's lyrics still make Trent Reznor sound like Joris-Karl Huysmans (the S&M-tinged "Praise the Low" is a particular eyeball-roller, though the way the arrangement manages to sound both Celtic and new agey while not sounding the least like Enya is impressive), Joy 1967-1990 is a much more varied and even more pop-oriented album than 1988's Ultra Vivid Scene. Hugh Jones' ultra-glossy production, rather surprisingly, actually suits the narcotic haze of Ralske's songs quite nicely and has the added benefit of leaving Ralske's musings well behind the album's real selling points, the gossamer web of acoustic and electronic instruments and Ralske's knack for melodies that simultaneously sound exceptionally catchy and just a little off. Mention must be made, however, of the fact that "Special One" (which features vocals by Kim Deal) sounds so much like Big Star's "September Gurls" that Alex Chilton could sue for royalties.

fair review

I need to get on board with this. I checked out a tune yesterday and rather liked it. Another band that i checked out recently and is sounding rather splendid is Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti.
