Summer Songs

I am not good at picking specific music for seasons or weather or whatever. All the same, it's Too Hot here and these are some new-ish songs that don't make me think of how much better life was in the winter:

• King of Spain - Tallest Man on Earth
• Home - Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros
• Thinkin' Bout Something - Hanson (yes. Hanson. Shutupshutupshutup.)
• Turn Off the Song and Go Outside - The Lonely Forest
• My Life With the Living Dead - The Secret History
• Romance is Boring - Los Campesinos!
• Come on Mona - Mona Reels
• All Y'all - Carcrashlander
• Little King - Casper & the Cookies

Yeah, I've talked about half of these before, but I don't really have any way to get new music.

Besides those, these older songs immediately pop into my head too:

• Float On - Modest Mouse
• Psychic City (Voodoo City) - YACHT
• The Ave - Blue Scholars (full disclosure, I am on or near the Ave 80% of the time that I'm listening to music)
• Nothing to Worry About - Peter, Bjorn & John
• Faster - Dept. of Energy
• This Year - The Mountain Goats

That's all that comes to mind right away. Go outside.
