While yesterday's excellent mix is going a long way to cheer me up,
the gloom of recent days has had me drinking too much tea and reaching
for a certain strain of melancholy British pop. "Beachwood Park" by
The Zombies and "She Smiled Sweetly" by the Rolling Stones are both
classics of the genre. If you're familiar with them, they're well
worth revisiting whether or not the gloom persists. Listened to on a
sunny summer day, they very well might make me nostalgic for the
experience of drinking tea on a rainy afternoon while listening to a
certain strain of melancholy British pop. "Sam," is from the third
album by Bill Fay, a singer who never quite caught on, but has had
something of a rebirth in the last ten years thanks to reissues of his
three studio albums.
