Your Tracks
Issue date: 4/30/09
Summer is the time to lay back, relax and listen to some great tunes. So for your next summer roadtrip, roll down the windows, crank up the volume on your stereo and make sure you've got these songs on your playlist:
1. "(More Bounce In) California" by Soul Kid #1: This is a perfect song to blast when driving with the windows down. Sure, you'll probably look like a tool, but it's almost worth it.
2. "Wouldn't It Be Nice?" by the Beach Boys: A summer playlist isn't complete without a throwback to the original kings of "fun in the sun" music.
3. "Bruises" by Chairlift: If the weather isn't enough to get you in a good mood, then let Chairlift do it for you.
4. "Tick Tick Boom" by the Hives: Summer weather means less clothing. It's a fact. So, while you're getting in shape to have the perfect beach body, get sweaty to this excellent workout jam.
5. "Cities in Dust" by Junkie XL: A cover of Siouxsie and the Banshee's original masterpiece, this song will have you ready to dance within the few electro-pop beats.
6. "The Way I Am" by Ingrid Michaelson: Consider this the soundtrack for your summer romance. 'Nuff said.
7. "This Is the Place" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers: It is a pretty safe assumption that buried in the Chili Peppers' discography, there is a song for each and every emotion a person will ever feel. This might capture some of those end-of-summer ones.
8. "Hysteric (Acoustic)" by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs: This song is remarkable. When the sun goes down and the mood mellows, this is the song to match the chill atmosphere.
9. "Here Comes the Sun" by The Beatles: One of Abbey Road's finest, the inclusion of this song in the summer playlist rests in the appropriateness of the title.
10. "Bohemian Like You" by the Dandy Warhols: It can be a hit or a miss with the Warhols, but this one definitely makes the cut for a great summer tune.
