Summer Playlist

So I have a lot of time on my hands this summer, and I really enjoy it. So I figured I would make a playlist of the Summer of '12. Hope you all enjoy, I encourage anyone reading to take a listen.
Here we go

1. Rizzlekicks- "Down with the Trumpets"
This song is fantastic. Its got Latin vibes, which reminds me of the hot summer nights, when you wish you could find a way to get cooler, beating the heat. I love these guys, they rap so fresh.



2. Third Eye Blind- "Semi-Charmed Kinda Life"
Do not even act like you don't know and love this song. This song brings me back to summers of my early youth. Oh the 90's, you never cease to amaze me. This isn't the only 90's song on this playlist, but its probably the one I remember listening to most.


3. Grouplove- "Naked Kids"
 Don't let the title scare you off, it has nothing to do with young children (lol awkward). This is one of my favorite songs from one of my recent favorite bands. I listen to this song and listen to the lyrics, and I imagine doing these things with my group of friends. The feeling I get is that of my skin with used sunscreen on it, in wet swimtrunks, a damp tank top, sunglasses on, at the beach with a drink, with my favorite people in the world. That eternal feeling you get with good friends is what I feel.




4. Biggie Smalls- "Mo Money Mo Problems"
Besides the catchy chorus in the background, this is a summer song for Biggie's pure rap talent. Enough said. Enjoy.




5. Noah and the Whale- "Five Years Time"
This song has one of my single favorite instrumental parts of any song, and that's the ukulele playing in the background the whole time. But the lyrics are catchy and sweet and that's why I love this song. It makes me think of laying in a grassy field looking at the summer sky, so blue!


The more I make of this playlist, the more I think I will add to it, maybe in 5 song parts. But for now, this is excellent. Love it!
