We Can’t Be Everywhere At Once
Summer has finally hit here in the Northwest. Actually it hit sometime ago, but I was too busy moving for the second time in four months to notice. Anyway, my point is, that as the summer begins to lose momentum, I realize that I haven’t been to the beach once this year. Not a SINGLE damn time!
But dang I long for the sand and the ocean. Portland’s the Caps pay heed to my pain, with their aptly titled summery road-trip ready masterpiece Heading To The Coast. The proof lies in the jam directly above you. “Ocean” provides you the perfect amount of laid back guitar, vocal, and sax riffing to accompany you, and your super-bros, on a lovely journey to the deep blue somewhere. They even reference the long traditional code of the road— stopping for snacks.
Because these dudes are local (and they used to practice in my basement), I’ve seen them perform a goat-load of times, so let me just say, the “ in-between-song-banter” alone is worth seeking out their show. The boys have a gigantic bag of new material in the process of being laid to tape, including two of my current favorite jams— “Marry Me In The Fall,” and “Bike City.” Which again, for the time being, you can only catch live.
It’s not too late to get that great summer record. You can head on over here to pick up your very own copy of Heading To The Coast and put it to good use this weekend.
And in a month or so when the cool moist air ushers in the fall, it starts getting dark at 4:30PM, and your seasonal depression and lack of vitamin D makes you want to stick you face in a meat grinder, you can crank it to this jam and nurse your broken summer heart.
