Peripheral Visionaries Mix 4 and the start of the Summer

Hi
Steve here - just languishing in the heat of the second day of the summer here in Montreal, fan blasting in my face, marveling at the sudden onset of the season.. In light of this, I have compiled another mix for you - my version of a summer mix that starts in a cut-off jean shorts, beer swilling kind of way with songs by Australia's embarrassingly monikered Daddy Cool (clearly an influence on AC/DC as they predated them by 3-4 years), April Wine (Canada's answer to Aerosmith), and current motorik rockers Wodden Shijps, segues into a psychedelic blissed-out afternoon lying on a wharf starting at the clouds with songs by bands like The Aliens (former Beta Band members reunite with original Beta Band member (who left before the became the Beta Band if that wasn't confusing enough already), a bootleg song off John Phillips of the Mamas and Papas ill-fated solo record 'Pussycat' (made with Keith and Mick as a way of getting Phillips OFF heroin if you can believe it - bad idea anyone?), the underrated Cortney Tidwell's duet with Jim James of My Morning Jacket (a song which I hope is an ode to David Crosby), and finishes with the abandon of a pool party at your parent's house when you were 17 and they were away on holiday with songs like Wham's 'Everything She Wants' (one of my DJing secret weapons, truth be told), The Magnetic Fields 'Strange Powers' (genius summertime love song lyrics), and Sweden's Studio's banging 'Self Service' (a band I can't get enough of - check their album Yearbook 1).. Hope you like it!
Steve

Good for DIS for calling out Pitchfork - what a bullshit excuse for a story, at a time when indie music is over saturated and in desperate need of something interesting to happen. Further proof of the industry's sad state of affairs...
