Toronto has never been a perfect place and it's certainly not a perfect place now...meteorologically speaking. We're currently getting walloped by a snowstorm which will most likely not end until the wee hours of tomorrow morning so it should be an interesting hike out there on Valentine's Eve. Skiers should be celebrating...if they can get access to the slopes.🎿
Let's think of a perfect place then. Calm blue ocean and all that. It's been well over a decade since I mentioned the now-disbanded ska band Skapontas（スカポンタス）which showed up with their cover of Yukio Hashi's（橋幸夫）classic "Koi no Mexican Rock"（恋のメキシカン・ロック）. Well, to redeem myself, I'm putting up their "Perfect Place" which is a track on their June 2005 album "So Peace" （So ピース）. Composed by Skapontas trumpeter Ayumi Ozaki（尾崎あゆみ）who you can see at the front of the kitchen table on the album cover, it's as mellow as can be with some jazz and rock thrown in there. No need to think of skis and horrible winter commutes while listening to this one. Just lay back in that hammock while sipping some Jamaican rum.
Well, time to dust off the heavy boots and the shovel.
It is very relaxing, but it isn't elevator music so it is far from being the type of music that would put me to sleep. Maybe, this is like a relaxing party or BGM for a swanky bookstore?
ReplyDeleteHello, Brian. Yep, I think "Perfect Place" can also fit the speakers at the bookstore or a café.
