Yes. You should be listening to Blue Skies, Broken Hearts... Next Twelve Exits instead (mainly the first half, it tails off after that). San Dimas High School Football Rules is still great, despite being probably the cheesiest pop-punk song ever written.

I discovered today Daturah's slow jams do wonders while walking in hot sweltering Maryland/DC weather.

I can only partly vouch for this as I listened to Daturah whilst walking in hot sweltering Sydney, NSW weather.

Summerteeth is good, and appropriate, but Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is the best for summer out of the three.

I'm also going to toss up The Mountain Goats' Tallahassee.  It's fantastic for a hot, mellow summer evening.

I thought Yankee Hotel Foxtrot was more of an autumn record.

"Poor Places?"  Come on.  The noisy, screechy, feedback-y guitars on songs like "I Am Trying to Break Your Heart" and "I'm the Man Who Loves You" doesn't make you think "blistering summer day in the sun?"  Maybe it's just me.

No way, you guys are crazy. If Wilco ever made a particularly summery album, it was Sky Blue Sky. But, honestly? All of Wilco's albums are pretty awesome for the season, so why pick one?

"Muzzle Of Bees" sounds like the way a nap in the shade on a fresh-cut lawn on a warm summer's day feels.

AM is for early evening on the road.
Being There could soundtrack an entire day because it's so eclectic.
Summerteeth is for when the sun is too hot, bleeding into sunset when you get to songs like 'Via Chicago.'
The Mermaid Avenue albums are both for listening to at night.
Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is for high noon.
A Ghost Is Born is a spring afternoon.
Sky Blue Sky is for a wet or wintry, but not necessarily that cold, autumn day.

So you can all shut up.
