Back to the future

So '90s I could easily believe, without second thought, that it was on the tracklist of our high school parties. I mean, I can clearly see us, as 17-year-olds, dancing with our hands in the air to this tune. This of course doesn't mean that it's a high school tune, but surely brings out a nostalgic, old-skool touch, even though it was released in 2013.



I wonder what those 17-year-olds would do with this sound today.

Hope they'd still have butterflies. I do.

Dub '80s

Dub and I are like those friends who you don't see very often, but when you do, it's so cozy and nice that you feel that it hasn't been that long since the last time you saw them. You can still tell them all about you, listen to their life stories, loosen up, do stupid things together and feel that warm sensation in your heart.

While dub isn't usually on my every-day playlist, I always feel warm and cozy when it comes up. Then I get stuck to it for a day or two and move on from there till the next time something brings it back to my attention.

Yesterday, while on our way to Dub Pistols, we ended up swaying to the sound of a random dude, playing dub music and drawing it back from my long term memory. Inevitably, today I can't listen to anything else.

One of my favorite ones, back in the '80s, always hitting my dub playlist.

Ain't silly at all

If you dig Mayer Hawthorne, there's absolutely no way you won't be digging this.



Utterly groovy, tight and kinda kinky take on Hawthorne's A Long Time (2011), which is top-notch as well, by Silly Pilly.

Didn't know Silly Pilly till now, but sure as hell wanna give him a high-five for these 7 and a half minutes.
