Cool summer sounds

Moonliner · 06-05-2010, 08:29 AM

Aww crap.

I've been put in charge of supplying tunes for the neighbourhood picknic.

Me. The guy who thinks the best Beatle song of all time is Octopuss's Garden.

Can I get some swank help here? I have rhapsody which gives me access to a lot of music...

Who should I add to the rotation? Daytime, families, hot dog and burger thing.

O a hot summer day, I'm always in the mood for Tribalistas or the latest David Byrne/Fat Boy Slim collaboration "Here Lies Love". There's something about a bit of a Samba beat that makes summer even better.

The Stool Pigeons do a lot of 60s pop covers. They're pretty fun.

Richard Cheese? Weird Al? Beach Boys, Dick Dale...

Pet Sounds

Astrude Gilberto, Smoke City to add to the samba suggestion, but some Coletrain jazz might be nice as well. On a more contemporary side I like Air and Belle & Sebastian for a hot Summer Day - and more obscurely a Spanish band by the name of La Mans. Gotan project for some chill tango rhythms.

Oooh, Belle and Sebastian are wonderful for a hot summer day! So are The Go Betweens!

Or you could go another direction... Rosemary Clooney's peppy songs (Mangos, In the Cool Cool Cool of the Evening, Come On a My House, etc.) Bobby Darin. Pink Martini.
