song of the day

Oh man, was it hot and humid today!

That’s the Kills with “Fried My Little Brains.”

Here’s Bishop Allen’s “Flight 180.”

If you feel like dancing, dance with me

How about a little Gordon Lightfoot? Maybe “Sundown”?

My oh my oh my it’s a beautiful world
I like swimming in the sea
I like to go out beyond the white breakers
Where a man can still be free (or a woman if you are one)
I like swimming in the sea

That’s Colin Hay, perhaps best known as the lead singer of ’80s band Men at Work, with his song “Beautiful World.” This is the “alternate mix,” which is still my favorite.

There ain’t no cure for the “Summertime Blues” by Eddie Cochran.
