Summer is that magical time of year when we all get naked and paint our bodies blue and build giant bonfires and get wild all night to honor Ishtar, Goddess of love, sensuality, fertility and war (busy gal). I think I’m gonna have to pass on getting into that big wicker guy they’ve been building out on the East pasture though.
But it’s pretty great to see another summer come. I like summer. I like beaches and picnics and bullfrogs out by the pond. I like summer music especially. What are some of your summer jams?
Longest day of the year, lots of Sunshine

That Isley Bros. version of “Summer Breeze” is an all-time favorite.
Fountains of Wayne – It Must Be Summer
Cowboy Junkies – Thirty Summers
Marianne Faithfull
Marianne Faithfull is still alive, amazingly, and is 76. To confirm this I went to wiki, and learned that she grew up in Hampstead, so not exactly a child of the streets.
gib me some sunlight and suddenly my music sounds like this
wonder if work would notice if i just painted myself a blue and stencilled the brand on my chest….
that would help a lot with the heat
(and honestly i dont give a fuck about being regular naked in public…..painted naked is just fun)
Being painted naked is a very Low Countries thing for a man to do. This familiar earworm is brought to us by Gotye, who must have a real name, and he apparently is Australian but was born in Belgium.

come to think of it…summer love is also summer to me
its also entirely possible im just a deranged metalhead that happened to land on the happy side of things…
you know…like most hippies v charles manson
“deranged metalhead that happened to land on the happy side of things” sounds just about perfect. It’s someone I’d want to know.
