Some songs from summers past:
Beck -Beercan Beach Boys - Feel Flows I always liked this song of ours in the summer- Grow up
and many, many more... But I would love to know what you've listened to in summers past and what you are listening to this summer?
Could be, could be... but I can't find it. It's certainly a question worth asking twice, if only so I can find some new music :)
...and I'm a jackass. Good find. I suppose it did feel a bit familiar. Only 49 days ago too...
I agree. I've been digging "Real Estate" a band I wouldn't have listened to without making this post, so I guess it wasn't a totally loss. At least not for me.
One of the standouts from this past weekend was Wilco covering this
Who the heck let that homeless dude up on stage and gave him a microphone?
I like lo-fi and chillwave albums for summer.
sounds_sound already said Pavement, so I'm going to with this song. Get Away by Yuck. Actually, any song by Yuck is perfectly summer. Same goes for Smith Westerns.
Eek-A-Mouse - Wa-Do-Dem
This whole album is a good beach album. The Bambi Molesters - Malagueña
Also from a good beach album.
My roommate in college drove a yellow VW Bus and always blasted Eek-A-Mouse while driving around town. By association, I have a hard time listening to it anymore. Plus, to begin with he has a pretty distinctive voice that you either like or don't like. I tend to fall in the "don't like" category. More than a couple of songs and it's like nails on a chalk-board for me. I hadn't heard the Babmi Molesters though, I dig it. Very Dick Dale, surfer-esque. It begs for summer.
Ah. See, in regard to Eek-A-Mouse, I have positive associations due to some particular beach days when it was the only music we had, for whatever reason. I don't think I'd play any particular song or album of his more than a few times in a given week, but it does make me think of summer.
