It's too damn hot
« on: 06 Jun 2008, 16:50 »
The last couple of days, it's been too damn hot in my little corner of the world, and it looks like the same is true some other places. I realize that I gravitate to certain music when it's really hot, and I was wondering if others did the same.

Right now, I'm listening to one of my old stand-byes: Cheap Thrills by Big Brother and the Holding Company (Janis Joplin's first major band). Despite a corny flower child song or two, this album has some great tracks, including Janis singing Gershwin's Summer Time, one of the great songs hot summer days.

Last night, I put on The Gold Hour, the new Firewater album, which puts me in the mind to travel (understandable, since it's sort of a travel-journal-in-music-form) and reminds me places like India and Israel, where I minded the heat less.

Speaking on India, I will almost certainly pull out Bismillah Khan (a shehnai player) in the next few days, too.

So what music do you pull out when it's too damn hot?

I have listened to nothing but This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb for the past two days.

But that doesn't really have anything to do with summer.


I guess I choose music for my car that is sort of summery? Massive Attack gets played a lot. Pavement, especially Crooked Rain. Early 90's era R.E.M.

It's of course getting in to winter over in the Southern Hemisphere, which would explain why I've been listening to the entire Opeth discography start to finish this week, breaking only for the occasional Boards of Canada or Spiritualized album

Cut Copy - In Ghost Colours
Guided by Voices - Bee Thousand
Islands - Arm's Way
Ratatat - LP3
The Replacements - Let It Be

I haven't noticed any real trend except a strong surge of indie pop (particularly twee), but that's mostly because I've been discovering a ton of new stuff in that vein, purely coincidentally. I guess I have been giving solid rock like Jets to Brazil and Ted Leo a lot more play time recently...

The only season/weather related trend I've ever noticed is that winter is typically post-rock time for me. Three winters ago I obsessed over Sigur Rós and Stereolab, two winters ago I obsessed over Do Make Say Think and Godspeed, and this winter I obsessed over Explosions in the Sky, Mono and This Will Destroy You. Oh, and of course every time of year is dance-punk time because dance-punk is love.

The sun beaming in from my window wakes me up at 5 at the minute, so I laze around 'til six and then start my day with Die Sterne, twee and American Football on repeat.

When it's hot, and I listen to crowded music, I start to feel exhausted to the point where I'm nearly passing out on the street. When the weather is hot, I'm all about sparse acoustic arrangements. None of that loud stuff.

I'd say I'm aware of what makes good music for a certain season or weather variety, but it really seems like i simply listen to music i want to listen to and don't listen to music that doesn't fit the weather, as opposed to choosing stuff that does fit the weather. there is a group of artists i listen to regardless of ambient temperature but find exceedingly fitting for this weather.

Caribou is great period, but i find the whole swirling, psychedelic, thing particularly suited to a sunny summer day.

Same Goes for Born Ruffians. Red, Yellow, & Blue just screams summer.

Califone's Roots and Crowns is an album i have enjoyed immensely year round. doubly so in summer.

Dead Meadow.

I second Do Make Say Think, of course.

Oh, can't forget Kyuss. And Queens of the Stone Age.

I could go on, but I think I'll just stop now.

I listen to lots of stuff that's already been said:

Beck
Broken Social Scene
The entire Elephant Six collective
Pavement
Yo La Tengo
Band of Horses
Braid
A lot more punk like the Dillinger Four and Jawbreaker and such
Jets to Brazil
The Pixies
Iron & Wine
Talking Heads (I love blasting "Once In a Lifetime" while driving into town)
The Thermals
etc. etc.

EDIT - Oh man, how could I have forgotten The Polyphonic Spree when I was listening to them while I typed that?  Also: Nick Drake.

It's the last week of school so I've been listening to a lot of Judas Priest, but only Blood Red Skies because that song is a million shades of awesome.

I have not been listening to Refused but that's probably because I've listened to The Shape of Punk to Come a bit too many times.  I'll probably be listening to a lot of blues in the next couple of months, especially when it's hot.  I get the distinct feeling that I'll be listening to a lot of Blind Willie McTell and Screamin' Jay Hawkins.

Oh, shit.

Bruce Springsteen's first three albums, before he started singing about hopelessness and shattered dreams.

Greetings From...., The Wild, The Innocent & The E Street Shuffle, and Born To Run are really the definitive albums of summer youth. Of escape, of dreams, of love, of pure blinding energy.

It's all about this. Chug, Earth Crisis shirts, vegan slogans flashing up, X'ed up fists in the crowd and more stage dives than you can shake a very big stick at. Summer is definitely the time for straight edge hardcore.

Cerunnos and Dimmukane know what's up.

I've been listening to a lot of Thievery Corporation and Tipper recently, as well as a bunch of random DJ mixes I've picked up, but the stuff that has really been getting me going is Shpongle.  It doesn't get boring the way other electronica does if I play it over and over and over again.

Wow, none of those are what I'd expect.  Time to listen to a ton of Colour Haze to offset all the beeps and boops.

Black Moth Super Rainbow - Dandelion Gum
Hella - Total Bugs Bunny on Wild Bass
The Black Keys - Attack & Release
Bigelf - Hex and Closer to Doom
Man Man - Rabbit Habits
All Girl Summer Fun Band - s/t
DJ Frane - The Electronic Garden of Delights

actually, this isn't so much "summer music" as it is "music that rules when you are stoned."

Queens of the Stone Age's latest album is the one I've listened to BY FAR the least ... I knew every note they ever played up until Lullabies to Paralyze, and even then got a good feel for that album, but Era Vulgaris just never got play time after I got my hands on it.

Walking around Philadelphia right now feels like swimming in honey that's been sitting in a hot car all day, so I wised up and put it on.  Holy fuck it is good.  It's perfect for the sauna that is West Philly right now.  Also, I've finally caught up to one of my all-time favorite bands.

Temperature has no influence over what I listen to. If it's hot, I'm in the car, and I can't turn on the AC without my car overheating, I'll roll down the windows, listen to whatever's in the CD player, and either chill out or sing along. Generally, this consists of Nightwish, Yuzo Koshiro, Marilyn Manson, or whatever is on my friend's MP3 player when he plugs it into the lighter socket.

It's been a lovely 97+ the past three days, and it will continue for at least one more day here in north Jersey.  I've come up with this list:

Against Me!  (Mostly New Wave, it's my favorite)
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band (only their first three albums, and the live at the Hammersmith Odeon album)
Allman Brothers Band (Statesboro Blues came on the radio while i was driving yesterday and it fit the weather perfectly)
I noticed i can only listen to Dashboard Confessional (guilty pleasure) during the summer, and especially good late at night
Eagles of Death Metal's Peace Love Death Metal
the second disk on Foo Fighters In Your Honor is great late at night too
I'm just starting to get into the Hold Steady, so i have a feeling that will impact my summer
Neil Young
Anything by Queens of the Stone Age, except maybe Rated R.  I just never really got into it
Sublime
Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1
Rolling Stones Get Yer Ya Ya's Out

EDIT: I'll up any of this to the mediafire thread if anyones interested.

Really? I have never met anyone who held this opinion before. I myself am a Crimes As Forgiven By/Reinventing Axl Rose fan. I mean, New Wave is okay. The production is a little too glossy for my personal taste but the songs are workable. I just find that there's a certain charm missing, you know?

Old school rock is always good with a convertible roof down on warm summer nights too.

Ray Charles, Chuck Berry, etc.

Against Me!  (Mostly New Wave, it's my favorite)

Really? I have never met anyone who held this opinion before. I myself am a Crimes As Forgiven By/Reinventing Axl Rose fan. I mean, New Wave is okay. The production is a little too glossy for my personal taste but the songs are workable. I just find that there's a certain charm missing, you know?


OH AND THEY SOLD OUT

It's probably because New Wave was the album that got me into the band...

MGMT seem to be my current default 'oh it's hot outside I should probably stop listening to Death Cab'  kind of band at the moment...

Plus, a whole load of twee indie girl-pop (pipettes/tilly & the wall/all girl summer fun band)

But, there is a still a huge part of me that wants to be driving along the coast listening to Ataris' version of Boys of Summer. Does this make me a bad person?
