Summer is easily my favorite season, and it always makes me all crazy-like. Triple digit days have me bouncing off the walls during work, lying comatose by the pool, and (soon) drinking Lone Star out of my recently purchased krazy straw glasses. I also end up eating way more bbq than should be allowed, and riding my bike through the same Hyde Park streets over and over.

I also listen to different music as the weather gets more intense. For whatever reason, I like my music to be slightly more obnoxious in the summertime, whether it be the singer’s voice or just a chaotic sound. I also buy into summer themed songs, which can be terribly cheesy but also great to listen to by the pool.
Sunset Rubdown – The Mending of the Gown
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah! – The Skin of my Yellow Country Teeth
Loudon Wainwright – The Swimming Song
I also listen to a lot of Biggie, and am of course listening to Akron/Family relatively nonstop.
What do you listen to in the summer?
A few weekends ago, Sarah and I decided that we needed to get everyone together for brisket, swimming, and Biggie Smalls. She took Polaroids and made hummus, I made brisket, and along with Kara we had some people come over, chill, and eat a ridiculous amount of food.

Sarah and I also hit up downtown the day before, including the Capitol and the Children’s Museum:
Kodak is discontinuing Polaroid film, so we’re going nuts.
