LITM Extra - Night and Day: Early Evening Partying [excerpt]

Love is the Message: Dance, Music and Counterculture

This is an excerpt from a patrons-only episode. To become a patron, head to Patreon.com/LoveMessagePod.
In this patrons-only episode, Jeremy and Tim respond to an article in the New York Times about early evening partying for which Tim was interviewed - and misrepresented!
This precipitates a wider conversation about the history of daytime partying and how partying at night became normalised. Tim and Jeremy recount their experiences of dancing in the day at Lazy Dog and Body and Soul, explore the reasons why throwing an intense daytime party is hard, and make the case for an early bedtime.

Jeremy and Tim also cover the Northern Soul 'weekender', drag balls, rent parties, nascent Acid culture, amphetamines, rave, and - for the first time on the show - the Bee Gees.

Produced and edited by Matt Huxley.
