    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

    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:

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

    Can't find your suggestion Hobster...

    The playlist is here. 27 tracks so far and, erm, eclectic...

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

    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!
