Summer
Hello,
The new 1 Hour of Music in 20 Minutes - Summer is up now on the abc dig site, and it's about what makes good summer music. What tends to re-emerge when it gets warm and why?
I reckon you can probably tell a lot about a person by their summer music selection, but I studied communications and reckon you can tell a lot about a person from how they order their coffee... but still, would there be so much indie pop and shoegaze if I hadn't spent my first late teenage summers hanging out with Ride and Stone Roses fans?
The program has undergone a bit of an evolution over the past month and a bit I've been working on it, but it was really just about sharing some of the music that seems to get brought out along with my summer dresses and open shoes :)
I love pop and so that's pretty clearly reflected, and in the tunes of a couple of real new favourite bands for me - The Brother Kite, Of Montreal, and Beirut.
Growing as well have just shot to a lofty spot on my list of amazing bands, and a very big smile goes out to Kevin who wrote back to my email the same day I wrote to him to say how much I had enjoyed hearing his music on the weekend that had just passed. Awesome to be responded to!
I have to thank the people who played me those new favourite bands, worksafe_hiponion for The Brother Kite and Of Montreal (will look up Apples in Stereo next!), Hoops for Growing and the Remote Control Records myspace for Beirut. Oh, and I'm sure she's noticed it, but thanks also to Gretska for the Stereolab :)
If you have some favourites that you associate with summer, I'd really love to know what they are. Leave your list or comments right here if you'd like to
Thanks always for tuning in (if such a phrase can be employed for this method of listening...)
yours in music,
