    Here comes the sun. Long summer evenings spent with friends in beer gardens drinking large bottles of bulmers ( with ice, please ) But what bands/artists, albums/songs would you pick to soundtrack it? Personally i'd have Teenage Fanclubs - Grand Prix folowed by Forever Changes by Love with a smigen of The Shins ..... What would you choose ?????

    another one i really like is Today by Smashing Pupmkins but maybe it's got something to with the video having an ice-cream van in it.

    I'll think I download all suggestions and make a summer album. Summer might just finally be here. I spent Friday afternoon drinking beer in the sunshine at the Pav in trinity, possibly ireland's finest beer garden. And you don't need to be a trinners student. Anyhooo Smashing Pumpkins 1979 Supergrass Alright The Rapture House of jealous lovers Kraftwerk The Model Stardust Music sounds better with you Ash Oh Yeah Moloko sing it back Jimmy Hendrix all along the watch tower

    We Didn't Start The Fire is a good summary song isn't it? I'm so glad someone mentioned the All Girl Summer Fun Band :D

    Anything by Shuggie Otis, especially the ol' chestnut, "Strawberry Letter 23". Yum. For the unititiated, look for "Inspiration Information" on Luaka Bop.
