Smooth Sailing: Eighties Summer Vibes

Rodnae Productions
The track by Squeeze is from the soundtrack to the movie Air that I saw last week. The songs by Bengt Liedman and Huntington & Baumann are from the brilliant new compilation album Once Again We Are The Children Of The Sun. I will definitely play more from it soon! Eighties inspired band Waterleaf are from my home town Groningen. Their new single A Man Is A Man is about inappropriate behavior of men:

"The track aims to shed light on the problematic consequences statements such as ‘boys will be boys’ can have. How will things ever change if there is no one to take responsibility?" (Waterleaf)
