SUMMER MUSIC aka MUSIC FOR THE SUMMER

The Green Eyed Monster · June 2010

things I intend to do this summer:

(1) bbq
(2) enjoy the sunshine
(3) listen to music

there's just something about a summer jam that is specific to the season. post up your favorite summertime cuts, and we will all love life while listening to them in the sunshine.

to open:

certified classic

even moreso

unquestionably capturing the spirit

I'm not sure you can get more summer music then The Beach Boys:

not exactly a real summer song, but damn I love the Beach Boys, and feel inspired to post this:

Brian Wilson > Paul McCartney, if only because he lays around in his bed and eats milkshakes instead of beating his wife

You're sitting on the beach. It's 7pm, the sun is starting to go down, you need some music to chill out.

4 essential summer albums for me:

Slightly Stoopid: Longest Barrel Ride and Acoustic Roots (the song ZM posted from them is off that album)
311: Music and Grassroots

Avoid anything else from Slightly Stoopid and if you don't like what 311 has put out in the last few years, those albums still deserve a fair shot.

Oh, and pretty much the entirety of ...And Out Come The Wolves by Rancid:

"Start" by Depapepe is the quintessential summer song in my opinion.

Whenever one of my friends has a BBBQ, at some point we have to put on the album "Cheat the Gallows" by Bigelf.

Hell, most songs by Depapepe are great summer songs.

I find a way to listen to this song, as I have for nearly 10 years, at the end of each summer.

<3<3 God yes! Writer's Block is a great summer album.

Also, for the hippy-inclined, this guy is alot like Xavier Rudd but is homegrown. And this song is a great summer tune. Good reminder how to live your life!

For some reason this song just means summer for me.
