Whoever figured out how to embed videos on here needs to teach me how (nvm: Just post the link and it does it!). Anyways, this one:

Also, sorry for making you watch that one.

The audio sucks, but it's pretty summah.

Too bad it aint summah Down Undah anymore . . .

[Gym Sockerman 1326]

Here's a fun game: Starting from the bottom, work your way to the top of that list and see how far you make it before you land on a song that isn't awful. I think most people will land on 1982.

Following his concert last night, my official song of the Summah!!!!

Crank it, then have some patience and let it build. If you aren't thinking "Hell Yeah! Summah!" by a minute thirty into the song, you must be a wintah person, and no friend of mine.

This became my summah song instantly after hearing it for the first time last month. People don't make enough frantic music about booty shaking these days.

All of Bomb The Music Industry!'s new album, Vacation http://quoteunquoterecords.com/qur051.htm

[masterofsparks 9]

"Pumped Up Kicks" is a really good choice, but I think my favorite of the current summer is "Modern Art" by The Black Lips (which actually appeared on an episode at some point):

[jarshall 25]

Zach, Ive been meaning to get to that album lately.

[Flashy Molasses 2]

We didn't even get a Summah over here in the UK but if we had, this would have been the anthem. Aesop Rock and Rob Sonic on some silly Summah biz- enjoy!
(Wasn't sure how to embed properly- apologies)
