I'm at the beach and can be bothered by nothing right now. Got a favorite song about being lazy?

This has been my jam today. Did he say 'lazin' or 'blazin?

S.F. Sorrow
	Artist: The Pretty Things

S.F. Sorrow was released the same week as The Beatles' White Album, The Rolling Stones' Beggars Banquet and The Kinks' The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society. Pretty hard to get attention with that kind of competition. Nevertheless, it definitely stands up there with those classics. It was recorded at Abbey Road and is one of the first rock operas (although Pete Townsend claims that it had no influence on him whatsoever). Hope your week got started on the right foot!

R.I.P. Peter Quaife, original bassist for The Kinks, truly one of the greats.
