Dark Entries and Honey Soundsystem have teamed up to release Catholic, the lost opus of disco pioneer PATRICK COWLEY and INDOOR LIFE vocalist JORGE SOCARRAS. Perhaps one of the most revolutionary and influential people in the canon of disco music, Cowley created his own brand of Hi-NRG dance music, "The San Francisco Sound." Born in Buffalo, NY on October 19, 1950, Patrick moved to San Francisco at the age of 21. He studied at the City College of San Francisco and met Jorge Socarras in 1973 through mutual friends. The duo's first collaboration was a ten-minute trance-inducing epic that Cowley composed for a performance piece by Socarras in 1975. Patrick, who played drums, guitar and keyboards, provided the perfect match for Jorge's vocal talents. Between 1975 and 1977 they recorded an album's worth of material before Socarras moved to London and Cowley started playing synthesizers for SYLVESTER. Upon Jorge's return to San Francisco in 1979, the duo would re-record some of the Catholic songs with Patrick's newly acquired equipment. Meanwhile, Socarras met the musicians with whom he would form Indoor Life, and in 1980 Patrick co-produced their first album. The Catholic album was offered to San Francisco's Megatone Records who passed on it. Fast forward to 2007 when Honey Soundsystem was contacted by John Hedges, former co-owner of Megatone Records. Hedges' was moving to Palm Springs and invited the crew over to his basement to collect over 2, 000 records from his collection. Among the archives were three moldy boxes of quarter inch reel to reel tapes featuring unreleased music by Cowley, including the Catholic material. The reel was passed on to Stefan Goldmann of Macro Recordings in Berlin who was able to track down Jorge Socarras and clear the rights. Catholic was finally released on CD in 2009.Catholic is a genre-bending concept album that ranges from minimalistic proto-techno to synth-driven post-punk, pre-dating the dance punk acts LCD Soundsystem and The Rapture by almost 30 years. It shows a much broader range than any Cowley or Socarras material available and gives a totally new perspective to one of the most inspiring eras in music history. Influenced by Tomita, Wendy Carlos, the Velvet Underground, and Roxy Music, "Catholic" prefigures acts like Talking Heads, Units, The Human League or Chris & Cosey. Patrick forges a unique electronic sound from his collection of synthesizers, modified guitars, and self-constructed equipment while Jorge's vocals go from hypnotic to camp, singing about gay love juju and tackling classics by Donovan and Stoller & Leiber.Featuring over 80 minutes of music never before released on vinyl, this compilation contains two bonus tracks not featured on the CD release. The tapes were meticulously restored by mastering guru RASHAD BECKER at D+M in Berlin, then remastered for vinyl by GEORGE HORN at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley, CA. The vinyl comes housed in a glossy dual pocket gatefold featuring the intended album cover from the original Catholic photo shoot in 1979, and the original hand-lettering by Arch Connelly aka A. Style intended for the first 45rpm single. Inside the gatefold sleeve contains lyrics and an essay from Jorge Socarras. For the 32nd anniversary of Patrick's death, Dark Entries and Honey Soundsystem present a glimpse into the minds of these two geniuses. These recordings shine a new light on the experimental side of a disco legend who was taken too soon. All proceeds from Catholic will be donated to the San Francisco AIDS Housing Alliance.

Exactly what I wanted,
Size: Large, Color: Light Khaki
I bought three pairs of shorts from three different companies and these are my favorite. I am going to by another pair in a different color.

Comfortable Water‑Repellent Summer Shorts That Still Look Casual and Neat
Size: XX-Large, Color: Dark Grey
I find these TACVASEN 7 Inch Casual Twill Shorts very comfortable to wear for warm weather. The polyester twill fabric feels light against the skin and does not trap heat, which makes them a good option for summer days or humid climates. The material also behaves like a water‑repellent, quick‑dry fabric, so light splashes or a bit of sweat do not linger long, and the shorts dry fairly fast instead of staying damp.
The overall look is more refined than basic athletic shorts, which I appreciate. The 7‑inch inseam, flat front style, and elastic waistband with drawstring give them a casual, everyday look that can still pass for more polished casual wear if you pair them with a polo or a clean t‑shirt. They do not look sloppy, so they work for running errands, casual outings, or relaxed social situations, not just for the beach or lounging.
In terms of construction, the stitching on my pair is nicely done, with no loose threads or obvious defects on the seams or hems. The shorts include two slant pockets and one back pocket, and one of the front pockets has a hidden zipper pocket inside, which is handy for keeping small items like cards or coins more secure without changing the outside look of the shorts. The elastic waistband and drawstring make it easy to dial in the fit without feeling tight.
Based on my experience, these shorts would be suitable for a variety of uses such as casual walks, light outdoor activities, beach days, or as comfortable everyday summer shorts that still look presentable enough for casual gatherings. If you want something breathable, quick drying, and a bit more polished than pure gym shorts, these are a solid option.
I received this item for free through the Amazon Vine program and I personally evaluate what I receive. I also pay taxes, Social Security and Medicare so I do not treat this as mindless ordering of products I will not use or fully test.

Perfect Summer Shorts for Everyday Wear
Size: Large, Color: Dark Grey
These turned out to be one of those purchases that will become part of the regular summer rotation. The fit is excellent, the fabric feels lightweight without feeling cheap, and they’re extremely comfortable in warm weather.
What I like most is that they strike a really nice balance between casual and polished. They don’t look like gym shorts, but they’re just as comfortable. The dark grey color looks clean and versatile, and the 7-inch length feels modern without being overly short.
The fabric has a smooth, cool feel and dries quickly, which is great for hot days or even light water exposure. The elastic waistband and drawstring are comfortable without looking sloppy, and the hidden zipper pocket is actually very useful for keys or cards.
Another thing I noticed is their durability that they hold their shape well and the material doesn’t wrinkle easily. They work equally well for relaxing, walking around town, travel, or casual dinners outside during summer.
Overall, these feel more expensive than they are. Comfortable, lightweight material, practical, and surprisingly stylish.

Fast drying polyester short for casual wear or to use at the beach
Size: Small, Color: Army Green, Size: Small, Color: Army Green
The TACVASEN men's 7" casual beach shorts are lightweight stretchy polyester shorts featuring an elastic waist band for added comfort. These shorts are nicely constructed and durable with no visible signs of defects out of the package. These shorts wear and feel comfortable for all types of activities or for just casual wear if you just want to lounge around. There are two average sized pockets one on each side and one zippered side pocket for added security and a rear pocket suitable for a normal sized wallet. I'm a 5'10" man and these shorts reach to the top of my knee. These shorts also have an average sized drawstring for added tightness if desired. The polyester material allows for fast drying. Overall these shorts offer a good value for wearing to most occasions.

Great casual shorts
Size: Small, Color: Blue Gray
These men’s water-resistant beach shorts have been a great purchase. I got them for my son, and he says they’re extremely comfortable. He especially loves how soft the material feels, which makes them easy to wear all day at the beach, pool, or just casually around town.
The water-resistant fabric works well and dries quickly, which is a huge plus for swimwear. They fit nicely and allow for plenty of movement without feeling stiff or heavy. Overall, these are comfortable, well-made shorts with great material, and my son has been really happy with them.
