QotD: Summer Music
What's the one CD that will totally remind you of the Summer of 2006?
Possibly this one, which I just bought this morning:
I'm listening to it right now. So far I like it a lot, though it's fairly light on the Jeff Tweedy (he's stretched pretty thin this year what with Golden Smog, Loose Fur and the next Wilco record.) Lots of Gary Louris, though, which fine by me.
Golden Smog are very much a summer kind of group to me; their music has a certain open, golden-sheened quality that I associate with the summer months-top down, chrome spinning, that kind of thing. Golden Smog's first record reminds me of the summer of '97, paired on a cassette tape with Son Volt's first.
