Posted by Sheev on 24 June 2009 - 4:44pm.
Before the landfill BEST EVER SUMMER ALBUM EVER! type stuff hits a supermarket, motorway service station or download site near you featuring Chaka Demus and Pliers and Katrina and the Waves - let's put our own little number together
So imagine the BBQ's sizzling, the pool's luke and the Twin Sub-Zees have enough cold beer, wine or fruit based drink to suit all tastes
Here's one from me to get things going

Band on the Run
Here's to you Macca on your recent birthday.
This might be my favourite track by a Beatle including Beatles tracks
Husky Rescue - Rainbow Flows
This should help keep the beers chilled....
This exudes summer..
like a bastard:
"Don't the sun look good today?"
Oh that's wonderful
How have I lived so long and not heard that?
There's more
you won't be dissapointed by 16 Lovers Lane (or almost anything else they did).
Grant 'I do sunshine, me' McLennan. God rest him
And this should keep the burgers sizzling
Calexico - Quattro
Sun's shining - even in Northern towns
The Dream Academy
Lovely choice - one of my favourite bands!
sort of like
Prefab sprout without the irony
Country meets Soul. Things hot up
Divine Comedy
I've always loved "The Pop Singer's Fear of the Pollen Count" by The Divine Comedy. I can't imagine a more summer-y song.
Nightmares on Wax...
Stevie Wonder - 'Sir Duke'
The Summerhouse The Divine Comedy
Lazy? Sure why not
The sun is out
Seconded on both counts there sir.
Phoenix along with this lot are criminally underated.
A fine summer song.
A marriage made in heaven
Under rated band
It's the Thrills, best westcoast 70s band to come out of 00s Ireland
see also...
HAL - Play the Hits.
course, as the evening comes down, you'll be wanting some of this
I don't care about the rest of the year....
Just take it down a peg
let the food settle a little, feel good, y'know, mellow
"Windmill Wedding" by Air France
very chilled now
You want summery?
Make way for The Dame
Try this. Arab Strap - Hey Fever.
The Undertones...
Obvious but....
And the one that always does it for me:
Macca's real other half
a few songs for sitting on a beach
How about this?
from left field slightly...
It's classic French "oui c'est pop!"
but I do quite like it - although its sheer Gallicness is probably the key factor
precisely
the reason I like it
RE: POUR A COLD ONE...
Just made a playlist of all these suggestions so far, and its one damn fine summers eclectic mix if you ask me... and to add my own to the Word Summer Playlist I offer:
Could You Be Loved - Bob Marley
summers here, hoo-haa!!
I don't suppose you've Spotified it, daveyman?
I was going to do it - but in keeping with the theme - I'm lazing on a sunny afternoon instead...
EDIT - No worries - I've gotten around to doing it now - take a scroll...
Smoooooooth!
Pass the sun cream someone...
Gotan Project - Last Tango in Paris:
...ooh could you rub some into my back for me...
A Guy Called Gerald - Beaches and Deserts
...falling asleep here...time to add some charcoal to the fire:
Honeyroot - Where I Belong
Looks like those ribs need some more marinade....
Herb Albert - A Taste of Honey
More brass you say?
J-Walk - Soul Vibration
Is that rain?
Jim Noir - Turbulent Weather
...phew false alarm, as you were..
....those burgers are done...
Thinking 'bout your holidays?
I'll also add
Maria McKee, "I'm Gonna Soothe You". Sadly, it's not aailable to UK youtubers.
Playlist Here
Drawn from suggestions above - a tweak or two here due to non-availability on Spotify - or personal preference(!)
Feel free to personalise
Have Fun Y'all!

what about mine....
I feel left out. 2 out of 4 is possible isn't it? as they are on spotify.
oh well.
apologies
think I must have scrolled past yours - I did the playlist while I was *working*.
I've added The Boss now and Gemma Hayes is covered elsewhere - so to speak
Have you
made it a "collaborative playlist"? I can't add to it.
Should be now
I've clicked on "Collaborative" - so please try again
Ta!
Devon Sproule, Grand Drive, Bebel Gilberto and Wendy Rene now added. That's my limit blown.
A late entry
In case you were wondering what either Spotify or blogs were for
The defence rests, M'lud.
They Might Be Giants
Birdhouse In Your Soul
Here's a joyful noise
Another English Summer
The version on Spotify is even better (double length)
ta da
the wonders of internet interaction
... though I still don't get twitter, surely another extension of an already narcissistic celebrity "elite"
put the acoustic version of "Agaetis Byrjun" on there too. Very relaxing in a hammock.
The Small Faces - Itchycoo Park
Beth Orton - Someone's Daughter
A little boy who could sing and dance just about
better than anybody
beyond the valley of the dolls
live The Carrie Nations - but there's an even better version of this on Maria McKee's Acoustic Live 2006 cd, which is about as feelgood a peformance as I can think of. Highly recommended for those with a jaded palate.
In the meantime, the original...
In The Long Run - The Carrie Nations
This sounds like summer for me ..
sorry it's kinda obvious
Led to Lynyrd
I'm a hero Like Robert Deniro
A-Ding-Dang-Do
