The new "Summer of Love"
While my summer has been overwhelmingly full of Northern Soul and 60's chunes, I've been trying to keep up with the new. When I've been able to turn off the Stax or Memphis sound, the harmonies haven't ended. Quite a few fresh musicians have been successfully recycling the spirit of '66 in studios around the world.
The Jessica Fletchers, The Pipettes, Girls in Hawaii and El Perro del Mar are just a few of the kids out there creating extraordinarily good "Summer of Love" songs. Even on a blah, wet day like today they can create summer sunshine in my headphones.
