damn y’all…

i picked a list that’s easy to get into for most people’s enjoyment. my indie points aren’t fucking high enough to get way off the charts.

does no one listen to pop music at all anymore or are we all too jaded because our blood flow has been cut off by our skinny jeans?

It seems like you didn’t actually take listening to this list into consideration. For a list of summery songs that have been overplayed at one summer in your life then…okay. If so Mariah Carey is a pretty good pick actually because she makes me think of the summer that I was 11. And if you were gonna go with Len, you could just as easily go with LFO’s “summer girls” but you wouldn’t because IT SUCKS and who wants to listen to that crap?

I totally second the Belle and Sebastian. “step into my office, baby”
In addition I submit:
Death Cab for Cutie - Photobooth
Of Montreal - Climb a Ladder (or anything from Satanic Panic, really)
Ben Kweller - Wasted and Ready
Outkast - Ghetto Musick

this list makes me afraid. very very afraid.

i’ll just stick to my ultimate summer record, MBV’s isn’t anything.

yeah, most of that list would make me wish winter was back so i could hibernate in a cave with earplugs in. belle and sebastian is summer music for me. and beirut. and oranges band. and the flying burrito brothers even.

definitely not an order by any means, just some picks from all over like i said. but if i must defend, i must.

1. i fully stand behind the len pick (i have a sad sad love for ridiculous pop songs), at least more so than the steve miller one which was just a typical throw in.

2. steve’s “gangster of love” isn’t “the joker” and he uses that as a lyric in the song anyway, so who cares? it was a throwaway anyway.

3. tina turner’s “rolling down the river” is actually called “proud mary” which CCR also covered. there’s nothing quite like that good ol’ swamp rock sound and fogerty’s voice that compliments a cookout quite so well. (ps - respect your elders son)

before you can bitch slap me about my picks, you may actually want to know the titles of yours… boyakasha

Woah. I’m hoping this isn’t in any kind of order, cause Lauren Hill would bitchslap Mariah Carey right off the CD.

And seriously, “Up Around the Bend” and “The Joker”? I mean, that’s how you start it off? As a carbon copy of crappy classic rock hit radio? Why not instead Tina Turner’s version of “Rolling on the River” and Steve’s “Gangster of Love”? Same mood, better tunes.

I won’t even go into the Len pick. You probably feel sorry about that enough as it is.

cruel cruel summer doesn’t make the list because it’s trying too hard to be a summer song. only one actual summer song allowed, and thats jazzy and will.

No Bananarama? I’ll go to your garden party, but after countless summers trying to get Color Me Badd and Mr. Bigg out of my head, shall we say in lieu of those…

Frank Sinatra - Summer Wind
Ice Cube - It Was a Good Day
Ween - Bananas and Blow

The album Master of Styles by The Urge is a good set of songs for me.
