I could name so many, but my key one is 'Summertime' by The Pharcyde and Sublime

Awwww yeaaaahh!!!

(Fresh Prince is awesome too.)

Sonic Youth is real good summer music, for me. "Sugar Kane" especially.

Aegir · « **Reply #52 on:** 23 May 2009, 22:35 »

The album "Everybody Knows This is Nowhere" by Neil Young.

I feel like Beach House should sound more summery than they do, you know, cause they're named Beach House? Same thing with the All Girl Summer Fun Band. They're kinda summery, but not enough to merit putting it in the title.

Is this for reasons outside of laziness?

Most of them is ideological (i.e. pollution is not that good) + living somewhere practical to get around by bike or public transport (i.e. easy to stand by ideals that don't make your life harder!). One is neurosis.

Are confused people in North America? I was amazed by how car-centric most suburbs / urbs (heh) were in the US, only been to Toronto but don't remember it being much different.

Annnnnyway...

Going back to the very first post, it's not something to sing along too, but the closest to something me and my friends would drive around to in summer is the KLF's Chill Out. Such good road trip music. Better after dark, admittedly.

See the problem with where I live, my age, and me getting a job, is everything that makes me want to get a car. I am totally for riding my bike to reasonable distances, but it comes down to the fact that I am getting a job about an hour and a half bike ride away; my parents aren't constantly there to give me a ride, nor do I want to ask for one.

I don't want to keep this thread off topic so, pretty much the entire Silent Movie album by Quiet Village.

The Joker · « **Reply #56 on:** 24 May 2009, 11:43 »

Sounds of Summer by the Beach Boys.

Also, "Good Day Sunshine" and "Here Comes the Sun" by the Beatles.

And "Summer Song" by Joe Satriani.

With a close second being "I'm On A Boat." Hehe.

I will never understand why people think this is funny. Seriously this song is like the second or third to worst thing I ever heard of. And I use "song" loosely.

Hate to nitpick, but are you talking about two different songs, as in "Summertime" by both Sublime, and by The Pharcyde? Only because I was going to say "Doin' Time" by Sublime, but I think we're thinking of the same song here.

If you've heard enough of their catalog, you'd know that's not true.

Anything by The Weepies

El Guincho or Coconot (Same person except he has a couple of bandmates in Coconot)

Basically i would say that i listen to more country/folk/blues during the summer with a bit of electro thrown in for variance.

Skibas_clavicle · « **Reply #61 on:** 25 May 2009, 10:55 »

Julia is making a summer song '09 predictions: Lisztomania by Pheonix. You are gonna go to indie rock clubs and see bad and drunken hipster dancing to this pop gem. I call it.

I download a lot of my music as well, but man am I totally ANAL about getting high res covers for all of it.

the_pied_piper · « **Reply #65 on:** 25 May 2009, 19:31 »

Please don't quote the post above you. That album cover has been in 3 of the last 4 posts now not including this one.

I second these two as well. Even though "Antarctica" is more of a winter song (I put it on a winter mix!), the rest of Hideaway is great for summer and I'm sure I'll be wishing it was colder on the days where I feel like I'm going to melt if I step in direct sunlight.

the_pied_piper · « **Reply #67 on:** 26 May 2009, 07:15 »

Actually, i'd say Say I Am You is better for summer songs but then again i prefer that album anyway.

iamiam · « **Reply #68 on:** 26 May 2009, 20:08 »

oh man i don't know how i neglected to mention oh no! oh my! as summer music. listening to this makes me wish i had a summer boyfriend to walk hand in hand in the park with.

in fact, i think i am going to throw it up in the mediafire thread so everyone can feel the joy.

Mapinguari · « **Reply #69 on:** 27 May 2009, 03:33 »

Pretty much any Passion Pit song. They're upbeat, optimistic, dreamy.

Check out Manners, but DEFINITELY check the Chunk of Change EP, much better as a whole.

Well, Avery Island isn't, actually, if that's what your'e saying is an amusement park. It's a salt dome island in Louisiana.

That's also where they make Tabasco sauce!

As for summer music, I definitely tend to listen to a bit more folk than usual i think. I made it a tradition since I got my license (going on the third summer) to spend the first really nice summery day driving around (mostly on the Garden State Parkway) listening to Born to Run. For some reason (this is really really lame) I usually listen Dashboard Confessional's A Mark, A Mission, A Brand, A Scar towards the beginning of the summer, but I think this is because it reminds me of a crush I had one summer a few years ago. I'm sure there's a bunch of other music I'm forgetting.

Also, "I'm On a Boat" is great.

yamaha2k3 · « **Reply #73 on:** 29 May 2009, 00:39 »

I'm surprised nobody said Summer Madness by Kool and the Gang. There's a pretty sweet remix to the original. Just some nice music to listen to while just chillin' outside and enjoying the day or night

fish across face · « **Reply #74 on:** 29 May 2009, 02:35 »

Ah good call. Nightmares On Wax's 'Night's Interlude' is basically a medley / mash-up of 'Summer Madness' and the instrumental bits from Quincy Jones' version of 'Summer In The City'. That's a touch summery.

I find nothing wrong with this.

I have a soft spot for Dashboard Confessional...

If there's one rock song you listen to a bunch this summer make it Dananananaykroyd's "Pink Sabbath."

Have you guys heard of a band called the Little Ones? Their Morning tide album makes great summer listening.

Babpacih · « **Reply #80 on:** 29 May 2009, 13:31 »

the album Let's Cut The Crap And Hookup Later on Tonight by Marah
always a fun summer one
Hard to Explain- The Strokes, Country Home- Neil Young
also lots of Lifter Puller. and Atmosphere.

Been my Summer album for 8 years. I'll probably reup it to the Mediafire thread in a day or two.

Lummer · « **Reply #82 on:** 30 May 2009, 03:24 »

Torche - "Meanderthal", The Sword - "Age Of Winters", Lifetime - "Jersey's Best Dancers"

Those three albums do it for me.

spoon_of_grimbo · « **Reply #83 on:** 30 May 2009, 05:50 »

oh fuck yes that Torche album!!! and another album that came out on the same label at about the same time - "We Are Above You" by Clouds.

Wow, I got to check this out. Thanks for the heads up.

Koremora · « **Reply #85 on:** 30 May 2009, 22:02 »

Thirding "Meanderthal" by Torche. It's probably just the most positive upbeat doom metal you can listen to, as oxymoronic as that sounds. It fucking rules for summer (or any time).

YES

Plus the videos are effing awesome, and really fitting, and even tie in together!

"Healer", the rockingest track on the record, gets a video of the guys just ROCKING THE FUCK OUT:

"Across The Shields" gets a much trippier treatment though, and it works perfectly!

I've found that Aces High by Iron Maiden is a great summer song, as is Constructive Summer by THS.

almost ALL of the new Idlewild album. for a band who've always sounded so wintry, it's weird to hear them in such a summery mood, but god-damn it's a good album!!!
