A Whole Lot of Rainbows: Soft Pop Nuggets From The WEA Vaults

Δευτέρα…η ωραιότερη μέρα της βδομάδας καθώς έχουμε έξοδο (η μοναδική τη βδομάδα) μετά μουσικής που βάζουμε οι ίδιοι. Μια αξιόλογη συλλογούλα λίγο πριν φύγω (το αρχείο θα ανέβει κατά τις 5 το πρωί που θα γυρίσω καθώς απ΄ότι βλέπω θέλει καμιά ωρα να ανέβει ακόμα). Ο χρόνος μου παραμένει εξαιρετικά περιορισμένος αφού τρέχω να προλάβω και δεν προλαβαίνω. Υπομονή έως τα Χριστούγεννα.
Να περνάτε όσο μπορείτε καλά.

There's an old adage that during the '60s anything seemed possible. Certainly, the unlikely group of middle-aged producers, studio vocalists, and reformed folkies featured on this collection proved this to be true. They sang of sunshine, cotton candy, and, of course, love in a totally irony-free context. One must remember, it was a time when The Mamas & The Papas were actually considered a rock band, and The Association claimed they played "bluer blues than The Rolling Stones." Sure, there were dark days ahead: People got heavy, rock became adult, and the music contained herein was deemed suitable only for those "other adults." Nevertheless, a critical reappraisal of these sophisticated sounds has provided a beautiful afterlife for sunshine pop. It is now widely coveted, collected, and consumed. Heck, nowadays, soft disciples can openly exclaim that "Kites Are Fun" without fear of a hippie hitting them over the head with a bong, and there is no shortage of hipsters who can correctly spell the name of Curt Boettcher. So, join us in the park, at the beach, or wherever your soft dreams usually transpire. We've got a whole lot of rainbows to find!
