#Monday. Starting out with a brilliant combo of classically weird vocal sample and squeaky 80s keys front and center in the mix, this is another one of those tracks that arguably peaks in its first 15 seconds. But the whole recording is so god darned day-glo-friendly, that even if it doesn’t quite become the perfect summertime listen we were hoping for on initial listen it still gets close enough to the score line to warrant more than a few repeat listens.

Redspencer – Happy Slow Riverbends

#Fronday? We were busy pushing our way in to Brixton Academy before we remembered that we had not hit the go button on our Friday post as intended. But we think this track works just as well for the start of a week as it does for the end of one (musical fudge then). And we like the photo too. Is that Gallagher Snr guesting at the end though? First heard courtesy of Who The Hell?

#Monday. A great cover of a track by The Network and not a bad way to help smooth the re-acclimatisation process for those of us who have been lucky enough to be out of the rain for most of the last two weeks and are now jonesing for that thing we call the sun.
