Sounds of Summer
March 06 2010

Well now that the sun has made an appearance for 6 solid days I can’t help but think about summer, sitting on the deck just letting the day pass by, drinking beers around the fire, kayaking and jumping off rocks. Canadian summers are the best, which makes the winter suck that much harder.
Little Joy formed in 2007 by Los Hermanos, Rodrigo Amarante, Fabrizio Moretti (drummer for the strokes), and Binki Shapiro. The Brazilian American band really captures the sound of Rio, it reminds me of this bar right in the middle of Ipanema where a great acoustic band would sing through the night, good music and 50 cent beers, really the best bar I have ever been too. The next time you have a day at the beach be sure to include this in your playlist. Call me an alcoholic but to me summer really is about relaxing with cold beers just hanging out, whether on a patio or on the beach. Summer music is supposed to be light, not too overwhelming perfect for the background to conversation.

Sitting around the fire at night is the staple of any Canadian summer, drinking cold beers just staring into the fire with friends, really the perfect ending to any day. One summer I went camping with friends and at night all you could hear was death metal and linkin park, clearly we didn’t go to the right camping ground. The guy next to us made me film him mosh by him self to linkin park then continued to ask me “you know that feeling when you just need to mosh, YOU KNOW, I HAVE THAT RIGHT NOW, its in meeeee” needless to say I didn’t fit in. For me the campfire is supposed to be relaxing I prefer softer music, something that no matter what kind of music you are into you know the lyrics and kept help but sing along. Oasis’ Wonderwall is exactly that, to me this is the perfect campfire song.

Well summer can’t come soon enough, I am sick of having to wear layers and pants. I am looking forward to going on road trips, sitting around the fire, staying out all night and not complaining about how cold it is.
