I’ll start with The Swimming Song by Loudon Wainwright III.

Just brilliant.

wildwood-Paul Weller

staying out for the summer-Dodgy x2

The Kinks – Sunny Afternoon…

Perfect day

Rolling Stones – Country Honk from Beggar’s Banquet

With my six weeks of summer holiday, I think I’ll make an STW playlist on YouTube. And ride my bike.

Nae shite though.

Pfft, six weeks? Im on my second month of four now 😀 (Uni (yes thats right, UNI) is rad)

P.S Bored already.

In the Summmertime – Mungo Jerry

Peaches – The Stranglers

Golden Brown – Stranglers

Deadmau5 – Faxing Berlin (Piano version)

Evil 9 – Hired Goons

both songs make me think of lazy summer days on the beach for some reason

Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac….

Hissing of Summer Lawns by Joni Mitchell gets my sunny summer song vote everytime!

Ce Matin La by Air

Bullion – “Time for Us All To Love” gives me a summer vibe this year.

(Sorry, no good for those happy listening to old sh1t year after year. And if anyone mentions Will f*£!ing Smith I’m leaving this forum forever! an hour or so!)

Special One by Ultra Vivid Scene is one of my fave summer tracks:

Hell, the whole album ‘Joy 1967-1990’ is a great summer listen.

So many to choose from, but some other great lazy summer tunes for me would be:

Hayling – FC Kahuna
Fixed Income – DJ Shadow
In The Waiting Line – Zero 7
At The River – Groove Armada
Slip Into Something More Comfortable – Kinobe

Teenage riot – Sonic Youth. It doesn’t get much more summery than that.

Sparky’s Dream Teenage Fanclub
Riverman Nick Drake

Listening to lots of Os Novos Baianos at the moment – a 70s Brazilian rock group along the lines of Os Mutantes. They look like a bunch of scary hippies and have some amazing songs and great chops (both musical and mutton). Here’s some scratchy old footage of them:

Kool and The Gang – Summer Madness

Nothing more evocative… such a great tune.

Lazer Guided Melodies- Spiritualized

Seasons in the sun ?? (just in case you get too happy)

Nothing more evocative

…of the chill-out scene in Rocky. 😉

…of the chill-out scene in Rocky

…or being invited to a bbq that’s starting at four.. 😉

808 state – pacific 707
toots & the maytals – pressure drop
hurry on sundown – hawkwind
Joe Strummer and mescalereos – coma girl (RIP Joe)
groove armada – superstylin
tom petty – free fallin

OK – got everything down to Dr. J (went for the Nirvana version there :D).

Can’t find your suggestion Hobster…

I’ll keep updating it as the thread grows (please post links to make life easier for me – I’m on holiday after all)

Cheers GTDave.

What did I do wrong? Will your link update if I add more tracks?

Feeder: Just a day
Cheap: Trick Auf Weirdesain??
Damned: Smash it up

Queens of the stone age.. fell good hit for the summer 😀

Not much!! Your link pointed to your own playlist as if you were using it. My link is exactly the same playlist (and so will always be relevant), but accessible to all.
Simples!

Noteeth, it also makes me think of Gangstarr’s record spinning geezer doing the crossword.

Second Toots and the Maytals. Perhaps a dash of Astrud Gilberto’s Beach Samba to loosen up to:

Some balearic stuff…

Mental Generation – Cafe del Mar (Underworld Mix)

I am digging the insanely catchy “We Have Nothing To Worry About” by Peter Jorn and John

And two other old faves are

Daydream in Blue

and

4 Heros mix of Les Fleurs

This is my favourite hip-hop “summer” tune – ever, ever, ever!!

Oh yes, fuggin’ fantastic!

More summer-y hip hop. I love the Herb Alpert sample.
