In Beechwood Park...


THE SUMMER PLAYLIST - an improvement on the summer jam and as essential as... a well-written simile in an opening sentence. Well, fuck. Anyway, Beechwood Park is my favorite summer song... can you believe the Zombies are still touring? Only with two surviving members though, I think. Anyway, the Zombies are incredible, and maybe one of the most overlooked bands of the sixties - though those who have looked don't overrate them. We all pretty much agree they were awesome. I'm going to be an acute music journalist in the near future. Enjoy.
