After lunch I'm going to have a beer and drift off on my lounger.

I always listen to Radiohead but thought I might try something new.

Over to the STW djs.

Out of my CD collection Chicane - Behind the sun is what I would be putting on for chilling out with a beer to.

And never forget Orb Live 93.  A monument to sunnysnoozery. Arguably contains the best version of Valley.  Can't find it on youtube but similar to this one:

I'd take issue with snoozing to The Hawk Is Howling. You'd just be starting to nod off when Batcat comes on!

Some good shouts here, Beta Band, Air, Morcheeba, Groove Armada...

I'd like to add my tuppenceworth, my favoured summer snooze albums back in the day were Dusk At Cubist Castle by The Olivia Tremor Control and Daisies Of The Galaxy by Eels.

I'll also add add either of the first two Circulus albums, Tunng (Comments Of The Inner Chorus particularly), Summer Sun by Yo La Tengo.

Old Testcard stuff and stuff from the likes of KPM are always good for a bit of summer easy listening.

I'd post some links but it seems the browser on my Phone (Firefox) and this site aren't too keen on each other.

No worries - I hadn't seen that Pitchfork set before so it's a win.

Bikebouy ..you must have a streak of evil in you !😁

Pink Floyd ..Dark Side of The Moon ..for a nice sunny snooze ..?

You would just be gently drifting off ..and then crap yourself when " Time" kicks in ...

Ah, always reminds me of a girlfriend I had when I was about 15. I wanted to play her some punk, but she picked out Showaddywaddy. She sat on my bed and I frisbied the sleeve across the room. It hit her under the eye and gave her a black eye. Her mum nearly beat the shit out of me (this was Leigh Park 😆 )  I don't recall if this was summer or not.
