The Sounds of Summer

A few suggestions from the vaults:

The Bird and the Bee - Ray Guns Are Not Just the Future

For summer car ride sing-a-longs with windows down and volume up. Try not to dance, I dare you.

Noah and the Whale - Peaceful the World Lays Me Down

For picnics and hammocks and kites and porch swings and picture-taking and all kinds of summer memory-making.

Beirut - The Flying Club Cup

For star-gazing summer nights filled with chirping crickets, fireflies and dreams of lost loves.

Of Montreal - The Sunlandic Twins

For summer afternoons by the pool, on the beach, or on the back porch (with or without the kiddie pool that overflows upon entrance).
