Summer Soundtrack

[Mr. Analog]

What are your cool tunes for beating the summer heat?

For me nothing beats the heat like some Blues or Jazz
-John Lee Hooker
-Stevie Ray Vaughn
-Grant Green

Of course more than a few moldy oldies like Roy Orbison and Bobby Vinton as well...

So what're your picks?

[Melbosa]

LMFAO - Love those guys
Snoop Dog - Summer says mellow... who is more mellow in music?
Katy Perry - Hot out, hot singer
Lonely Island - cause you gotta laugh
Toby Keith - Red Sippy Cup is so summer
Keith Urban - Hey what can I say, Country

Some honourable mentions:
Tom Cochran
John Mellencamp
Love Inc
Ace of Base

I'm not sure why, but CCR came to mind first when I was thinking about it. Not sure that makes sense. If we're talking the bayou, its not exactly cool down there.

Red Solo Cup

Sippy cups are for babies and toddlers...  Maybe you're channeling some news you're not allowed to tell us yet?

What magical music technology are YOU employing to reduce the speed of motion of molecules simply by vibrating the air at certain frequencies?

My current playlist

The Ray Noble Orchestra - jazz / British dance music
Robert & Johnny - doo wop
The Cadillacs - rock & roll / doo wop
Del Shannon - rock & roll

I also put on some Bobby Vinton but it was because I was looking for a Del Shannon cover and wasn't sure which album it was on.



Edit: Oop, forgot that I had The Crew Cuts and The Robins in this playlist too
