PSYCHEDELIC / DANCE
It’s been another perfect summer’s day: cycling in the morning, spending the afternoon on a beach with turquoise blue water (listening to Jagwar Ma and Pond), and finishing up relaxing on the deck drinking red wine and chatting with a friend as we watched the darkness swallow up the forest around us. With all of this, It’s strange to be thinking of moving again but my gut is telling me that’s what I should do but so far I have no idea where I’ll move to, or why?

PSYCHEDELIC ROCK
Pond – Colouring The Streets
This is a track from a new surf movie that was released to celebrate the 40 year anniversary of the most famous of the Oz surf movies. Perfect.
We used to drop acid and sit transfixed to the screen like the proverbial deer in the headlights – terrifying, exhilarating and mind blowing all at the same time.

And now for something completely different… This band was really an early 80’s and 90’s band but they reform every once in a while and are still going. Most people would know Lisa Gerrard from the Gladiator soundtrack: Now We Are Free.
