Monday Monday Monday. What is up?! Been a minute since I've gotten a good look at you. Did you do something different with your hair? Your sunny radiance and the gleam around your eye is driving me wild. Wish I could go outside and keep you company this afternoon. Maybe split a soft serve (my treat), and walk around the city for a bit. That thing I had with Saturday's been blown way to extremes, you know I need my Monday. You keep my head on straight. 

Here is your Monday afternoon treat courtesy of Bowls, a long time friend of Tucker and Bloom, and a solid friend to Monday. Trust us this mix is exactly what you need right now. Embrace your Monday, bask in it.

“Second Serve” is the sequel to “Soft Serve,” a mix I recorded back in 2006. The premise was (and still is) pretty simple: make a mix of songs that represent the feeling you get when the weather is nice. In 2006, all it took was an afternoon in Centennial Park when the temperature had first hit the 70 degree range. That prompted me to head back to my on-campus apartment (HILLSIDE GET LIVE!) and record “Soft Serve.”

Now, three years later, the warm weather returned a bit earlier than expected. It’s been forever since I dropped a mix anyway, so the timing couldn’t be better. This one was recorded on a Friday afternoon. 71 degrees and sunny. What does that mean for whoever decides to listen to this mix?

80’s grooves. Huge keyboard bass. Snares with (almost) too much reverb. Disco. Synthesizers. Female vocals. Songs about getting “up” and/or “down.” Songs that make you want to party on a spaceship.

Here it is. Recorded live with all vinyl…- BOWLS
