Sublime - Doin' Time/Summertime

[el_chode]

I'm in the middle of making a Lazy Summer Mix. Here's 5 songs so far that aren't Yo La Tengo:

Lemonheads - Rudderless (Live, 2005)
NEW EODM - Eagles of Death Metal - Now I'm a Fool - Heart On
These Are The Ghosts - The Bees
Steely Dan - Any Major Dude Will Tell You (or the wilco version)
Ween - Mutilated Lips (this whole album is one of the best summertime drinking albums)

Yo La Tengo- Tiny Birds

[Murph]

The Black Keys - Do the Rump

In the summer I always dig the red hot chili peppers back out of hiding

See I said "not Yo La Tengo" because I don't have a yard where I can go and sit and listen to them as the Gods intended.

You know Chode, Rudderless is my favorite Lemonheads song. Period.

And this is the ultimate summer song.

The Verve - Bitter Sweet Symphony

[el_chode]

Mine too, except I think it also is one of the few songs that makes me feel like a summer afternoon with nothing to do and puts me in a totally shiftless rudderless mood

So I guess that makes it one of the few songs to really work as advertised

[he.who.forgets]

I find myself always leaning heavily on Portugal. the Man's The Satanic Satanist in the summertime.  Great album to play in the car with the windows down.

Mondo Boys' Weird Summer mix(es) as posted on Aquarium Drunkard hit the spot for me.  Good recommendations on here so far tho...haven't heard a lot of this stuff.  Thanks!
