Not just one review today, Sam's had some spare time and is here to bring us one and a half reviews for us, this morning. Lucky us. He watched The Purge, reckons it's no good. However, Broad City season five, on the other hand, is absolute gold. Brilliant.

Dr. Kirsten Zemke compares City Pop to Yacht Rock in it's catchy, uplifting style. Miki Matsubara's 真夜中のドア / Stay with me, Makoto Matushita's First Light, and Lucky Tapes' レイディ・ブルース. The songs say it all.
Sam's excited about pride month and on theme, watched Tales of the City on Netflix. A heart warming show about the queer community that's left Sam itching to go to San Francisco. If you're looking for something to make you feel good, and binge watch like Sam did, this is for you.
