Through music I’ve met a lot of wonderful, talented people who have come to be either close friends or someone you exchange the odd email with when you see an article they might like or find a song that reminded you of them. These tracks are interspersed with what I would want to hear as I sit round a table with friends, late in to the night, talking shit.
These are the songs I want to listen to on that sun dappled walk to a friend's house, whilst we share our food and ease our weeks, pouring glass after glass as a table becomes a home, gently releasing our days into the night…
Our heads have been down, our bodies are sore (especially James' hand), and the music has only stopped when the day's liquid is all in bottle and packed away. This playlist has helped get us through it all, along with countless albums from all these amazing artists -- especially Frank Zappa. What a wild dude.
