I stole this from the Nolan Ross file on great summer music and I thought you should see it.

I seem to often do this, not for my own pleasure (well, maybe a little), but for the pleasure of your ears. Your ears deserve to hear good pleasant sounds, thus, I am doing you a favor in pointing you in the right direction of wonderful tunes. here are some wonderful summer songs that will make you feel alive… (side note: you really could buy Josh Rouses’ “Subtitulo” record and that be considered a full-on summer record)…

I Am Kloot - No Direction Home
Josh Rouse - Summertime
Elefant - Lolita
Pedro The Lion - Indian Summer
Regina Spektor - Fidelity
Patty Griffin - Rowing Song
The Frames - Fake
Joseph Arthur - Dear Lord
John Vanderslice - Peacocks In The Video Rain
