I'm pretty anal-retentive about weather/seasons and music. So, summer music to me is generally blues, rock/classic rock, folk, upbeat metal (Maiden counts), etc. It's just very summery. Clutch, being a blues-based rock band fits nicely into that description.

To me, summer music is definitely also some tasty 50's/60's oldies. Doo wop, rock 'n' roll etc. It's just not a summer worth mentioning unless Runaround Sue or Let's Twist Again plays somewhere in the background. :D I realise I might have read too much Stephen King when I was a kid, though. o_O
 
I'm on the folk/classic rock wagon too when it comes to summer...and a bit of Grateful Dead too! To me they embody that relaxing, careless vibe of summer...
 
Careless vibe of summer? What about naive vibe of summer?
It's probably in my character but I never get careless. Or at least, I don't try to let the season or weather have influence on that. I am still digesting terrible news at night (or whenever that happens). Listening to happy jolly music before or after, would that change much? Putting on relaxing, "careless vibe" music would feel as if I was an ostrich, pretending there's nothing to worry about on this world as long as I change my "internal" vision. Err, yes I just compared listening to relaxed music with sticking a head in the sand.
 
Yeah, I don't see it as "careless" like Sixes does, but there's just something about the weather in summer that makes me want to listening to simpler, more roots-oriented music. Certainly the blues is not happy jolly music.
 
Haha relax Foro...I meant, listening to some music in the summer makes me breathe out and relax for that period of time..it helps to enjoy myself......not forgetting the rest of the world 24/7 like you seem to imply

Also, what's wrong with listening to relaxing music? So the world is a bad place so we can't listen to Motown or Bobby McFerrin :wtf:

No sorry... I don't mean we can't. The impact of such music works different for me, that's all. And I don't have the need to lay down the metal for a (large part of a) season.

*hums Don't Worry Be Happy*
 
Quite the opposite. I don't like feelgood music in summer, it makes everything seem too manic. If anything I like dark or melancholy music in summer. Think of it like putting ice in a nice cold drink.
 
Some of the stuff I listen too during the summer isn't necessarily feelgood...it just has a slow folk/roots rock rhythm to it that fits well with the long summer days where you're not doing much :D
 
Twelve hour shift in your face! No problem for Cried! :nuts:

Last night, one of the biggest objects in history, the biggest land based railway bridge ever, containing as much steel as the Eiffel Tower, being 255 m long, 17 m wide, 55 m high and 8400 tons heavy, took a 400 m ride. 976 wheels were used and it took about seven hours.

Doesn't look much bigger than a ship. BRING CRIED SOMETHING BIGGER!
 
Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

Just saying.
 
So my downstairs neighbours have left me a note with a complaint that I should "play my video games much quieter at night." This upsets me because I'm always as quiet as possible at night and I surely don't produce enough noise to be well-heard downstairs. A couple of nights ago, they banged my floor (their ceiling) with a broom in the middle of the night and I can safely say I had not made a sound for at least half an hour prior. Fuckin' weird.
 
Two weeks until I see Blind Guardian again. :)

I spent all afternoon sitting in the garden reading a book, listening to football commentary and playing Settlers of Catan. It was really hot and I'm exhausted now.

Just moved into the second story unit in a three story building. My upstairs neighbors are three college-aged, short girls who are generally very quiet. However, the smallest motion often produces a sound akin to a bomb dropping. I know that they are just walking back and forth normally, but I'd swear they are jumping up and down in clogs while dribbling bowling balls.

This is very fitting:

Yeah, that's probably it - everything sounds amplified through the floor, which sucks because they think I'm at fault here. Also, I've seen that video before, it's epic :D.
