The Specials – A message to you, Rudy

This must be one of the catchiest riffs of all time, the trombone is so fly. It is a great, feel good summer song (I seem to be posting a lot of these this week for some reason, not exactly sure why).This is taken from The Specials’ eponymous 1979 debut album and is a cover of a 60’s Jamaican rocksteady song.

Passion Pit – Little Secrets

When I need a burst of upbeat positivity (the rain has been relentless since my return to the emerald isle) Massachusetts band Passion Pit are never far from my mind. Their music, and this is a good example, is typically high energy and marked by a slightly off key (if strangely effective) vocal style. Also, it has been far too long since I last posted them.

Higher and higher and higher…
