Nothing, the sweet sound of people just talking to each other without having to shout over unneeded music.

Pink Martini

Kenny Chesney.

Oh please. As if you like talking to people.

When I do I prefer not to be shouting over all the other people talking who have to shout over music nobody's listening to.

Nothing more awkward than a party without any music.

Just keep the volume down. (And don't ever listen to Alex when it comes to social advice.)

I also like to add in some King Sunny Ade to my summer mix.

Passion Pit, Caetano Veloso, The B-52s, Techno Squirrels, Bear in Heaven

Ooh, forgot Passion Pit! Good call! :D

Caetano Veloso is always good for summer. The Belize Tropical compilation that David Byrne put together is a fantastic collection.
