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

ABBA – Gimme Gimme Gimme

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?
