Summer tracks
Posted by: Rasher on 09 June 2006
Some songs just capture the feel of summer for me, and as it's a hot day, I'm searching for those songs that make me feel that summer is really here to stay. Those songs that make me think of lying in the grass, or on the beach with the hot sun beating down.
For me:
Royksopp - A Higher Place
Swervedriver - Duel
Kinks - Waterloo Sunset
Monkees - Pleasant Valley Sunday
Smashing Pumpkins - 1979

Not so much a track as the whole album. Reminds me of balmy evenings on Paxos.

What a delightful thread!
It has sent me once again, with enthusiasm renewed, to my late uncle's record collection, and particularly his pile of vintage 45's.
Tracks I have particularly enjoyed include:
Andy Williams, Music to Watch Girls by
Noel Coward, Mad Dogs and Englishmen and Poor Little Rich Girl
and Charles Trenet, Le Mer and Boum (side b of which includes a track backed by Django Reinhardt and the Quintette of the Hot Club).
I shall enjoy working my way through the rest of the 45s this summer - and I recall there are some corkers.
But in the summer, I also particularly enjoy Les Negresses Vertes' first album, Mlah. When it gets its annual outing it means summer has come, as it has done every year since 1989. (It might even get more than one outing!)
