Songs of Summer


Summer for college students is the season of seasonal occupations, lounging poolside, frolicking in the sun, floating down rivers, eating popsicles, or simply put, enjoying youth…unless you’re me. If you are me, then your summer entails spending the sunny hours of every weekday confined to a classroom or windowless auditorium and the majority of your weekends holed up in 24 hour coffee shops cracked out on dark roast trying to catch up/keep up with the demands of fast paced summer school classes.

Am I grateful for higher education? More than anything. Am I being a whiny baby? Maybe a little.  

Here are four old tracks sure to breathe new life into any summer mix:

1. Grazin’ in the Grass: if this song doesn’t make you smile…you may be a robo-alien 

2. The Techniques: old-timey, chill-out, beach-side reggae.

3. Os Mutantes: psychedelic 60s by way of Brazil.

4. The Beach Boys: Nuff’ said.
