What song makes you feel nostalgic for a time you never lived through?

The Beach Boys, and surf music in general, feels familiar...but also totally alien.

What's your go-to song for getting ready in the morning?

Share a song that sounds like your favorite weather.

My favourite weather is that of a lazy summer's day, when everyone slows down and relaxes a bit.

This song embodies that, although this particular performance is a bit different.

One day I'll do a list of my favourite bits from live shows...and the Fun Boys doing Summertime at the Hammersmith Palais would be in the list.

It was a very cool show altogether, and this song was especially good live. This recording doesn't really capture that experience but it's a nice reminder

What's your favorite song about growing up?

What song would you dedicate to your younger self?

Because it all has been too beautiful.

What's a song that feels like magic every time you hear it?

This is a ballad version of a Saw Doctors sing-a-long hit, with a full orchestra.Its as if Whitney was singing the Clash, and it feels like magic, a special alchemy, to me.

This reminds me of a friend from my school days who's no longer with us
