Some songs ARE Summer. What are your summer songs?

Ball?
Ball!


The above picture is for my special friend.

You know who you are.....

What is in the mail bag - ooooh

Look at this!

Camera Obscura - Lets get out of this Country



The lead singer in this band is getting raves- "Let's get out of this Country" may just become some kind of an anthem if the Iraq thing continues to press.

thanks for the musical snack, K.




Ball? Ball? Kick!

...exactly.

Saturday is another day of nuptials. What a treat it will be to see family again.

I am starting to think of my new family in Victoria as almost family.

I am so close to being finished here it is ridiculous.


What is also ridiculous is how much I complain.

I claim grad school prerogative.




baaaallll...Ball.
I claim grandfather prerogative.  Afi says so.


"K" pointed out to me that it is summer, and that reminds me that
summer needs those songs that you only hear in summer.

Beatles - "Baby You're a Rich Man"
Tremeloes - "Silence is Golden"
Sly and the Family Stone - "Hot Fun in the Summertime"
Martha and the Vandellas - "Heat Wave"
Doobie Bros. - "Jesus is Just Allright With Me"

Here's a modern one:
Peter, Bjorn & John - "Young Folks"



B-dis digs the whistling

how can you not dig the whistling? it's infectious, the mark of a truly great song, for summer or whenever.
actually, i don't believe in summer songs. songs should always be good, not just for 2 months of the year.

by the way, if it's summer tunes you're after...have you listened to of montreal's "hissing fauna, are you the destroyer?" album yet?

my favourite song on it changes hourly. right now it's "faberge falls for shuggie."

it's the best album of the year. layer upon layer of goodness. i haven't become bored with it since it was released months ago.


check it out y'all.
