Summer Soundtrack: Volume 2

Here's the second instalment of the summer soundtrack series. The heat has sapped all my strength so expect a little less 'pep'.

Jolie Holland - I want to die
Actually, forget everything I said about summer. I hate summer. I hate it so much. How long can an "extreme heat advisory" possibly last? Why do people live in this smog infested, humid, stinking city? I seriously cannot figure out why I left the womb-like comfort of Vancouver for this. These days, the wish for death usually comes at about 4:00pm when the thermometer in my house breaks the 30 degrees Celsius mark. The attempting suicide usually occurs sometime around midnight when I realize that the house will not get any cooler, no matter how many fans I turn on.

Little Wings - Look at what the light did
In late May, when summer didn't so much resemble a torture device, this song was being played in my apartment regularly. All the doo's after the chorus are perfect. I used to hate Little Wings, but have been recently been reformed.

Great Lake Swimmers - Moving Pictures Silent Films
This song from my winter soundtrack has crept into my summer one both because it is so good and because I long for coldness. Mostly because it is so good.
