JUNE PLAYLIST
This last week dear readers, I've finally been struck with the notion that it is actually, finally summer. This special, glorious, sunshine and happiness filled season is once again upon us (whack out a cornetto and celebrate!) and it feels awesome. The official start of summer is still 3 days away, however I've already acquired sunburn, been swimming in the cool blue sea, getting sand stuck between my toes and just about everywhere else, developed a fine start to this year's foot tan, consumed many ice creams and cool drinks, had a BBQ in the rain (British summers never change) and started collecting yet more shells to add to my never ending shell collection. Life couldn't be better.
I always used to feel conflicted about summer when I was growing up. On the one hand I adored it. All those weeks of ice cream and playing outside and late summer nights and BBQs. Yet on the other hand, it always felt so long and boring and never ending. A way to bridge two academic years together. Oh and of course it's prime wasp season too. However as I've gotten older, I've come to view summer in a new way, and fully appreciate what an amazing season it actually is. When I think of summer now, I think of properly relaxing, adventure, camping, swimming, hanging out with all my favourite people, basking in the sunshine or laughing in the rain, exploring, travelling, the beach, that dozy content laziness, being happy, music, art, books, catching up on all the films and TV I've missed during the year, freedom. Even though autumn will always be my favourite season, summer is fast becoming my second favourite, and dare I say it, maybe even a contender for that prime number one season spot...
So to celebrate this spectacular season, I've put together a playlist with some cracking tunes to get the ball rolling. Most songs are new bangers, with some from amazing new artists like Samako, Fazerdaze, and LCD Soundsystem, and others by well established artists who've been off the grid for a few years, including Lorde, Arcade Fire, Haim and The Kooks. Hand on heart, I'm not lying dear readers, when I say that the musical goods on offer for us this summer are right corkers. We're in such a jammy position, absolutely spoilt for choice. This playlist could quite literally be endless.
So I hope you enjoy the 30 odd songs I've chosen, and I hope you have an absolutely magical summer dear readers. And remember to put suncream on your back. Turns out it's quite good at burning.
