The music you listen to in the summertime has to have a special quality. It has to be light, and fresh, but deeply funky and soulful. It’s the kind of music, as some of the tracks above have been for me, the kind of music that comes onto your i-pod when you have it on shuffle, lying on the sand of a beach, and it just feels perfect. It’s about the music you’re listening to fitting the light around you perfectly; that golden-green light. Summer music, more than any other, has to be music you love.
I had to restrain myself, because I didn’t want to stop compiling this list. This is only a tiny selection of the music I’ll be listening to this summer. Feel free to add to it.
