twenty-something

« Last Post | Next Post »

I spent a good portion of yesterday, my second-to-last weekday vacation day, down at the Burlington Waterfront with my iPod and then with buddy Meghan. (Sadly, I got very little color -- nary a burn!) iPod did a good and eerie job of shuffling through it's 15GB to bring me several perfect songs for such a perfect June 2.

This morning, in my daily blog rounds, I found a fun poll (or meme, whatever that means) at iPod Lounge that begs me to answer for myself. So here you are:

Top Five: Favorite Sunny/Rainy Bands
(Off the top of my head, subject to change, and in no particular order)

Sunshine '05:
Jack Johnson / Donavon Frankenreiter
The B-52's
Belle & Sebastian
Scissor Sisters
Huey Lewis & The News (and that is listed without a lick of irony)

Doubting me? Just imagine yourself in a convertable driving by a body of water on a beautiful day listening to any of those... Told ya.

Bonus: My favorite summer song of all time is probably "Summer Breeze" by Seals & Croft -- particularly the Phillip Steir remix or the Jason Mraz cover.

My current favorite "walking song" (in which, while listening to my iPod and walking, I like to pretend that it's the music montage at the end of the weekly television dramedy about my life)? "Life is Short" by Butterfly Boucher.

Downpour '05:
Damien Rice
The Postal Service
Jeff Buckley
Morcheeba
EastMountainSouth

You'll note that I omitted my go-to guys: Sarah, Gavin, Duncan, et al.

So... What are your picks?
