After what i can only describe as a terrible summer, i've decided to boycott Autumn.
I want to be clear that this is not because i have something against Autumn. In fact, generally after summer i'm more than ready to embrace the opportunity to put back on the Indie coats and hats that have been too heavy to wear during the summer. But due to the sorry state of this summer, all of my most Indie T-Shirts have been hidden away under layers of retro hoodies or cord jackets.
So i'm going to keep being in summer until my Shirts have gotten enough wear.
this as it turns out, isn't as easy as it sounds and so i've done some research into summer music which will help me get into the summer spirit. i'm also on track towards covering my window with a poster of a beach and leaving a lamp behind it..
So here's the music that would make ANYONE happy:
I'm From Barcelona: 24 Swedes all singing about things like stamps and holidays.. very happy stuff.
Billie The Vision & The Dancers: Apart from having a great name AND great music, it appears you can download any of their songs for free here on last.fm
The Format: I'm not sure if what they're singing about is happy or not.. but i'm too distracted by the summery sounds of the instruments to care all that much. they also have a great site. you can also have a listen here.
Dogs Die In Hot Cars: I really love these guys, their name is funny, they're music is happy (but it makes you think), most importantly they're only going to get MORE indie by the day. this is of course because they only released one album 5 years ago and broke up. I still listen to their music a lot! here's a torrent (it's not stealing because you can't really get the album any more)
Mic Christopher: Irish singer song writer, tragically died before releasing his first album, which as it turns out is FANTASTIC!
hope somebody finds something they like within this.
enjoy the rest of the summer.. lets hope it lasts till around January

Thanks for visiting the Music Vlog! :) I don't really like all Small Faces-songs, but All Or Nothing is just.. waw.
Btw, that Billie-thing is most enjoyable, gracias. So far we (here in Belgium) didn't really have much summer either, but this certainly brings a nice warm summer breeze in the room.
w00t- at least you have the four seasons there. here (in singapore) is a whole different story; a country with only tropical weather.
it's either hot and humid here or raining, so there there's no use complaining. haha and thanks for the band list.
the format is really nice.
zul- i must say.. if you came to Ireland you would experience our famous "4 seasons in one day"
not sure i'd like to have such predictable weather, takes the fun out of making out-door plans.
Jan, thanks for dropping by, never been to Belgium but i have see a fantastic Belgian movie a few years back called Aaltra and am a big dEUS fan.
