It seems apparent that this blog has become a receptacle of compilations and playlists, and not much else. This is fitting, as my mood is highly influenced by my musical tastes, or is it the other way, that my music tastes are influenced by the moods I am in, probably both. Anyway, this next compilation is one for summer, as solstice is upon us, of which I will be celebrating as I usually do by watching naked people ride bikes through Fremont followed by cold beers into the evening.

I hope you enjoy this one as I feel it really captures the soundtrack to our summer months of hanging out and enjoying each others laid back company. Yes, it begins with weirdness, Animal Collective, however, don’t we all feel a little awkward in Seattle as the grey blanket is pulled from the sky, to be replaced by a burning orb of light, once our eyes adjust to this new found light, we want to get out and frolic in the grass, which is portrayed with Fleet Foxes. The rest of the summers attributes are whimsically laced here within, including the song by Extra Golden, Obama, of which we will all hear plenty about this summer and into the Autumn months. Enjoy.
