Summer Soundtrack: Volume 4
In the course of about a week, summer went from being unbearably hot and disgusting to cold with tornado warnings. Needless to say, this is the last installment of the summer soundtrack series. And because I declare summer to be officially over, these songs have nothing to do with summer or how much this particular one sucked my ass.
Clem Snide - The Dairy Queen
This song has some amazing imagery that actually makes me feel nostalgic for my economically depressed and slowly disappearing home town.

Mclusky - She will only bring you happiness
Funny songs are usually only funny for so long. But I still laugh when I hear the last verse, even after a few weeks of listening to this. It also helps that the song itself is pretty catchy and great.
[buy]
Frog Eyes - The Mayor of the Town Laments the Failures of His Many Townsfolk
This is easily the best of all the Frog Eyes recordings. It manages to capture a hint of Carey Mercer's frenzied vocal delivery but still sounds like it was filtered through an AM radio.

Wow, just had 'The Dairy Queen' playing on my car stereo this afternoon. In a battle royale between 'Your Favourtie Music' and 'The Ghost of Fashion' who would win? I'd say 'Fave Music' hands down with "African Friend" landing a deadly elbow smash from the top turnbuckle to finish the bout off. Lovely song btw.
I've always liked the McLusky song, it's quite a different sound from anything on their McLusky Do Dallas album(which is awesome). Btw, sorry to hear about your mind.
Cheer up Ian - there will be more summer come September, and Autumn music just as sweet.
damn good blog, check out mine http://juicyfruiter.blogspot.com, comments always welcome!
What's your MA thesis about? How's it going?
Graduate: I'd have to say that you're probably right, but I'd have to say that "Let's Explode" is almost good enough in itself to push the Ghost of Fashion into the lead.
Grace: I'm writing about the history of nutrition education/nutritional science in Canada during the 1930s and 1940s. I'm kind of looking at the origins of something called Canada's Food Guide (which is the equivalent to the US Food Pyramid). Real exciting stuff, I know. I'm finally done writing, so hopefully that means I'm finished. My supervisor will have the last word, though.
