stealing everyone's sunshine

summer is cool.
one of the things i love about summer, besides doing absolutely nothing in 90+ degree weather, are summer songs, or summer records.
i'm shoeing in on some potential summer records this coming 3 months.
i can already that the new passion pit cd is gonna be playing everywhere. i heard it a couple of days ago and found it to be obnoxious? i don't know-- it seems like that's the right adjective to describe this record. loud and obnoxious synth pop. a little disappointing but you can't satisfy everyone.

let's see. uhm. i just heard the new grizzly bear record, Veckatimest, and really enjoyed what i heard. this should be a summer record because it contains that lo-fi dream tone that was present in yellow house and relates to the haze of summer, but it might be drowned out by passion pit. or "my girls" by animal collective.

the new phoenix record is really fun. though, i've had a leaked copy for about 2 months, i still think this has potential to be blasting through your ipod while the sun hits your face.

the wavves record, wavvves, which came out earlier this year can still act as a great summer record. no doubt.

i recently listened to the new Juan Maclean album, the future will come, and found it to represent miami in the best way possible: corny as fuck, but still brilliantly tolerable. if this isn't a miami summer cd than i give up.

let's see. anything else? gimme some suggestions.
