Tuesday Tunes Week 46 - A Summer Photo Thing

Today's Mission: Google or use a photo from your collection of something that involves your summer. Then tell us what music figured in the most on your summer playlist this year.

This summer has mostly been full of work but we did get a chance to see a couple of shows, so my chosen photo is a pic I took at the Gov't Mule show at Skyline Stage. It's a crappy photo, but it's the best of the lot.

Gov't Mule - Skyline Stage

So my summer playlist of course contains this show in heavy rotation. I downloaded it from a friendly taper at etree.org a day or so after the show but if not still available, you can always pick up a high quality mix available direct from the band at MuleTracks (or contact me via the form here and time permitting, I'll make arrangements to send you a copy - it's free!!)

Also getting a lot of play this summer:

The Blizzard of 78 - Where Life Hangs : I've written about them before and am still enjoying. I hear their next release is in mixing as we speak.

Jackie Greene - Sweet Somewhere Bound : Not his latest but the one I seem to keep going to. A Thing Called Rain is brilliant.

World Party - Goodbye Jumbo : A personal favorite. Some prefer Private Revolution but I could never figure out why.

Little Feat - Waiting for Columbus : The best hot day, have a picnic, tap a keg album ever.

What's playing for you this summer?

World Party...sigh...that is one fine album!

And I think Goodbye Columbus is a timeless classic!

Sounds like a summer full of tuneful goodness!

Thanks Nat. I think it is true different music fits better in different seasons. When driving with windows open in the car, at a backyard picnic, or sunning on the beach, the soundtrack changes.
