in other news...

i am planning to make a summer mix in honor of the impending non-frigidity of new york's trademark pseudo-spring.

i'm looking for the kinds of tracks that remind you of summer--remind you of driving down the freeway with wet hair and bare feet and the windows open; making out in the woods; drinking beer on the porch with your friends; lying still and feeling the air settle over you like a blanket. i want memories of that. what songs warm your skin?

suggestions?

thunder island by jay ferguson. it is an old 70's ditty. it is one of my all time favorite songs ever. highly recommended.

summer of '69- bryan adams

wipeout - fat boys (it kicks)

sunspot baby- bob seger and the silver bullet band

melissa-allman brothers band

ventura highway- america

rocky mountain way- joe walsh

just a couple of favorites. thunder island is by far the best. high energy, feel good, catchy hook. flawless.

I actually made an awesome summer mix last summer so let me tip you off to a few of summery gems:

Picture Book, by the Kinks

Wild Nights, John Mellencamp (was he Cougar back then? huh...)

and Summer in the City by the Lovin' Spoonful.

SUCH good summmer music.
