Summer Music Mix

Happy Labor Day! Another summer bites the dust, and it's time to re-shuffle the cds in my car for fall. Some songs that have been entertaining me this summer:



1. "Jogging Gorgeous Summer" by Islands. Thanks to Music for Kids Who Can't Read Good for this rec.

2. "Escape (The Pina Colada Song)" by Rupert Holmes. Yeah, it's cheesy. (Though they used it in the car chase scene for Wanted. How bizarre is that?)

3. "I Want Candy" by Bow Wow Wow. Child of the 80s, that's my only excuse.

4. "The Underdog" by Spoon. Don't need a reason to love Spoon.

5. "Mistress Mabel" by The Fratellis. Lurve them, lurve the song. Why can't they release in the UK and the US simultaneously?? Coldplay can manage it, dammit.

6. "Pull Shapes" by The Pipettes. When I form my girl band, we're going to sound like the Pipettes: fierce.

7. "Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?" by She & Him. Zooey Deschanel rocks.

8. "Girls in Their Summer Clothes" by Bruce Springsteen. Don't mess with Jersey.

9. "Lullabye" by Ben Folds. Seeing him in concert in 4 days!!!!

10. "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz. Mellow tropical song that sounds like summer.
