the air is heavy, the heat is here, the world around us is completely saturated with all things summer... ah, august... with these conditions, i'm finding myself being brought back to last summer and especially the new music i was listening to at that time... the music that was playing in the background while we went about our hot days and windows-open, cricket-filled nights such as michael frenti, citizen cope, gomez, trey anastio, grace potter, g. love, etc... it is always so wonderful how music can connect us to such specific moments in time, isn't it?... and such good music it was. so anyway, i've been wondering... watching, listening and observing to see what the songs will be for this year? what songs will appear, on their own, and make their way into our memories of 2007? today as we listened to a newly downloaded fionn regan song over and over, perhaps we stumbled across the first track of this unofficial compilation... it is a great simple tune that fits the s-l-o-w mood of the summer heat, as if the music is melting right there along with you. if you haven't already, and you'd like to give it a listen, or see the very cool video he's done for the song you can check it out here. there are other songs that have potential for summer sountrack 07 status (perhaps?), but it is really too early to tell. so i'll just sit back now, breath in the elements of the season, try to keep cool and let the djs do their thing.
