100% summer
. . . . . . . .
they tell me that you can’t depend on a british summer; that it could be cool and rainy all summer long. i was prepared for the worst, and i thought it might be true until this past week. it’s been glorious here in london; really warm temps, loads of sun, and many smiling people enjoying it.
so this week, i’m going to celebrate summer around here … we don’t know how long it will last, but i hope it will stick around for a while.
to get things started off right, i made a new summer mix. head on over and give it a listen HERE.
track list
+ in the summertime (the rural alberta advantage)
+ marathon (tennis)
+ dreams come true girl (cass mccombs)
+ big bird in a small cage (patrick watson)
+ england (the national)
+ needles and pins (jackie de shannon)
+ on my way back home (band of horses)
+ beach comber (real estate)
+ arkansas (damien jurado)
+ unbearable why (dr. dog)
+ zorbing (stornoway)
enjoy!
Love your Summer Mix!!!
That Patrick Watson song is sublime. He puts on a hell of a live show.
Your photos make me long for London in all seasons…
Those folks fit perfectly with the ship matchbox. Bravo. The music is good too.
Hi. Thanks for this perfect mix. I’m listening at work, but feel like I am somewhere else. That’s pretty much the most I could ask from a mix, I think.
oh yay…..thanks for the mix :)
I’m listening to it right now! the photo by Claudine Doury is great!
I have the same cute little top that the girl in the picture !
Band of horses is always great for summer !
that first shot is amazing.
your mixes are always top-notch and so appropriate for the season! thanks for providing my listening pleasure for the day! :)
p.s. forgot to tell you how much i love your updated “eat and drink” section of your portfolio. everything is utterly swoon-worthy — when are you making a blurb book of these? :)
Nice shots! Tennis (the band) are awesomely cute!
i am just hoping the summer lasts until i get there!
You’re so thoughtful and generous with your mixes. Thanks. Again.
love the first track and you know i’m fond of zorbing, too. happy summer tunes. thanks, b.
Been listening to that Damien Jurado all day on You Tube. Pretty damn smart. Nice choice.
thank you for your music hints! i love these tracks.
that’s one helluva sweet mix, brian. i’ve only met a handful of people who listen to dr. dog.
even though we are in the middle of winter here, i am adoring your summer mix, thanks…
I’m completely enjoying this summer mix…happy summer, Brian!
finally got to listen all the way through. loved it as always. many thanks.
nice mixtape! patrick watson is probably my favourite band (if you’ve ever have the chance to see him live, go do so! you’d be blown away!) so it’s cool finding it here.
i’ve made one as well some days ago, it’s full of happy cheery easy summersongs. you might like it, it’s downloadable here if you want: http://rapidshare.com/files/403793905/SUMMERSOUNDS.zip.html
cheers!
what’s with the Scotch tape ad?
i especially love the song by patrick watson, i can’t stop listening to it. it’s a perfect summer song.
I am drifting away on the music….
(thanks for sharing!)
