“Can you hear me, that when it rains and shines, (When it Rains and shines.) It’s just a state of mind? (When it rains and shines.) Can you hear me, can you hear me?”
So, five weeks ago, when I kicked off this Summer Pop Podcast series, I had no idea that my particular choice of Beatles tunes would be so predictive.
I hope you right click and enjoy all five, and play them in the next few months, as the weather adjusts its attitude and begins to reflect the overall vibe and not just the series opener.
An accidental independence day irony is that this one has even more U.K. conceived rockers than any the previous mix. Here’s hoping that this, being the last Summer Pop mix of the season, means that the colonies can declare their independence from the British invasion of our climate.
Next week will be another 2bougie2strong jazz & soul mix, as this jack of all parades peels off with his two turntables, microphone, and convertible getaway car… Think you can guess the color and make?
Playlist is below the fold.
