February Motivator

It's almost as traditional to celebrate the end of January as it is to celebrate the end of December. Traditionally a month for detoxing, fresh starts and trying to break old habits, it is of no surprise that the month turns into a long arduous experience only compounded by the grey and cold weather.

I've managed to keep the intentions I made so far, not typical resolutions perhaps but personal aims to do things and be places have so far proved easier than imagined. Things are basically good. After a month that feels like it lasts 6, we're now into February, a month that barely lasts 4 weeks. It's one of my more favourite months with the promise of Spring in the air and this February is chocablock with amazing things including Warpaint, She Keeps Bees and my first ever experience of worriedaboutsatan. To say I'm excited would be an understatement. There's also Bright Club, lots of meetings with old friends and again, new ventures to be cemented.

Anyway, that's enough about me. For now at least.

I'm going to try and steer motivators away from dance music and play you some brash late 60's funk instead. This song will always remind me of being very young when I first showed an interest in music and though soul and funk wouldn't connect with me at the time, this song is so full of effervescence and soul that it's impossible not to be caught up in its swagger, both then and now.

Here's hoping for a belter of a February.
