Down here, Down Under, we have just gone through 9 successive days of temperatures above 30c and the body is weary. Restless nights, sticky afternoons and biting, morning heat on your shoulders. A long way from John Denver’s ever so twee mid-70’s smash hit, Sunshine on My Shoulders.
We went down the coast on Monday, which was a public holiday, and spent the day at the beach. The waves coming in from the Southern Ocean were brisk, regular and just the right size for body surfing. I didn’t get out for hours.
I was planning to post this set of music called 400% Dynamite upon our return but have only now come out of the sun drenched stupor. Tis a fine collection of ska, rock steady and dub from Jamaica by way of the gentle souls of SoulJazz Records.
Perfect beach music!
