dirty pretty things
by Graham
Music is an important part of windsurfing. Listen to a song before going on the water to get pumped up. Play a playlist to relax after coming off a sick session. Every windsurfing film’s soundtrack is an integral part of the film itself. Hell, when I hear the songs from the second Polakow movie, I can follow a mental movie of the action in my head (my obsession with Polakows About Time is a little bit neurotic I admit; and maybe, after seeing something thousands of times, it should be imprinted on the mind– or at least I hope that it is).
So here is an album that I’ve been really into lately. I like to listen to driving to the beach, rigging my sail, and even as I’m changing so that I only have to take my earphones out at the last possible second. “A Romance At Short Notice” is Dirty Pretty Things’ second album (btw, Dirty Pretty Things the film is decent too). A relaxed rock vibe powered by smooth-yet-powerful british vocals. Here are two songs from the album. If you like them, buy it.
PS I’ve got the final part to my Baja trilogy almost ready to be released and with it will be a fun little clip with never before seen footage of the event.
My family always say that I am wasting my time here at
net, except I know I am getting know-how every day by reading thes pleasant content.
