Listening to Cocosuma on Radio Paradise

For me, this is one of those magical mystical highly hypnotic songs that I never tire of hearing here on the life-affirming stream of RP...

I think somebody spent WAY too much time in study hall perfecting that band's logo.

And way too much time in front of the mirror perfecting the hair and make-up.

Good Lord. I've just started work, pottering about, getting into things. I was looking at the second guy in and thinking what a weird expression he had on his face and then made the mistake of looking at the outfits. Call me slow, but the first guy's pants have just ruined my whole day.

Every time this plays I think of the phonetically inspired lyrics set down a year or so ago in this forum. Probably the best entry ever!

Natalie probably needs 'ludes because she's so zippy and hyper otherwise.

Re the Stryken photo below: The successor band for Wyld Stallyns from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.

As for Cocosuma, I really dig the chill of jazzy/trance/lounge or however critics currently pigeonhole this genre. I vote 8 on first listen.

It's definitely Brighton's derelict pier. The album was conceived in Australia though, that explains the rotation.

Interesting quiet song that reminds me so much of something else that gets played here but I cannot remember what it is. Early onset dementia or it's just not a terribly interesting track... cannot decide which.

Enunciation may be the lost art... unless you are mourning the failure of the singer to rise again. The delivery is a little glissade, but not a whiny/slurry instant turnoff.

I dig the tune, too, even if I can't figure out what she's singing. Quite likeable.
