the whole of these albums

Sonic Youth - Washing Machine
Sonic Youth - Murray Street
Sonic Youth - NYC Ghosts & Flowers
Joni Mitchell - The Hissing Of Summer Lawns

Pavement - Gold Soundz
It reminds me their video clip, with the palm-trees, the convertible, the sun, California...
It's also my favourite Pavement song.

DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince "Summertime"
The entire soundtrack to the film "City Of God"
Anything on the genius Salsoul label, including "Doctor Love" and "You're Just The Right Size"
Inner City's "Big Fun" and "Good Life"
Many things by the (inevitable) Beach Boys

Sickos- Harlem Shakes.

Good pick, great songs. I Love old Detroit Techno.

I tend to listen to more punk in the summer. So, likely to listen to more At The Drive-In, Ramones, and Buzzcocks.

My Own Summer (shove it)

"the shade is a tool, a device, a savior, see I try, to look up, to the sky, but my eyes burn, cloud..."

The Strokes - Someday
Mogwai - Summer (clever!)
Explosions in the sky - First breath after coma
Pavement - Cut your hair

Don't know why but these songs kinda give me a summer-ish feeling.
