summer jams

[Oldboy]

Mad Cobra - Flex

[twistedtrees]

I know it was first posted a year ago, but I'd say for a summer balcony party you'd want some upbeat stuff.

Anything by A Tribe Called Quest--it's the party music everybody can agree on

I'd throw in Modest Mouse's "Float On" just because it's a good bet most everybody's heard it.

Arcade Fire "Neighborhood #3 Power Out" or whatever it's called.

For some reason I'm wanting to hear Wu Tang's C.R.E.A.M

An upbeat Flaming Lips song might do

I don't know, I'd just go over to Turntablelab's Podcast and DL a bunch of those & just throw them on.

[neverletdown]

sly and the family stone is my summer soundtrack this year.

[nettiemoore]

shooter jennings-bad magick

[insomaniac]

desmond dekker (or any rock steady, actually)

buff medways

the roots

rocket from the crypt

[dino might]

"alright" by supergrass, quitessential summer fuck around and not to anything chill out song

[joey_formal]

anything from minus the bear

[wEstSidE]

I second that. Pachuca Sunrise FTW

The very best, in my opinion, is a song that has become traditional for me: "Autumn Tactics [Thrillseekers Mix]" by Chicane.

[1995chardx]

Beulah-Burned by the Sun

[chantheman]

if your looking for upbeat.

kaskade's stuff is always a good choice

..and Dungen TA Det Lugnt is great for summer night car rides with the moon roof down.

you're missing 3 years...

When this was first posted I looked at it and was like 'surely they'll edit it, i don't need to tell them'. Obviously I was wrong haha. The pumpkins are amazing for the record

Age of Innocence off their last album is a good summer song while I'm here.

[poly800rock]

Here it is the groove slightly transformed

just a bit of a break from the norm

just a little somethin' to break the monotony

of all that hardcore dance that has gotten to be

a little bit out of control it's cool to dance

but what about the groove that soothes that moves romance

give me a soft subtle mix

and if ain't broke then don't try to fix it

and think of the summers of the past

adjust the base and let the alpine blast

pop in my CD and let me run a rhyme

and put your car on cruise and lay back cause this is summertime

Chorus

Verse Two: Fresh Prince

school is out and it's a sort of a buzz

a back then I didn't really know what it was

but now I see what have of this

the way that people respond to summer madness

the weather is hot and girls are dressing less

and checking out the fellas to tell 'em who's best

riding around in your jeep or your benzos

or in your Nissan stting on lorenzos

back in Philly we be ou in the park

a place called the plateau is where everybody goes

guys out hunting and girls doing likewise

honking at the honey in front of you with the light eyes

she turn around to see what you beeping at

it's like the summers a natural afradesiac

and with a pen and pad I compose this rhyme

to hit you and get you equipped for the summer time

continued below...

Chorus

Verse Three: Fresh Prince

it's late in the day and I ain't been on the court yet

hustle to the mall to get me a short set

yeah I got on sneaks but I need a new pair

cause basketball courts in the summer got girls there

the temperature's about 88

hop in the water plug just for old times sake

break to ya crib change your clothes once more

cause you're invited to a barbeque that's starting at 4

sitting with your friends cause y'all remincise

about the days growing up and the first person you kiss

and as I think back makes me wonder how

the smell from a grill could spark up nostalgia

all the kids playing out front

little boys messin round with the girls playing double-dutch

while the DJ's spinning a tune as the old folks dance at your family reunion

then six o'clock rolls around

you just finished wiping your car down

it's time to cruise so you head to the summertime hangout

it looks like a car show

everybody come lookin real fine

fresh from the barber shop or fly from the beauty salon

every moment frontin and maxin

chillin in the car they spent all day waxin

leanin to the side but you can't spead through

Two miles an hour so everybody sees you

there's an air of love and of happiness

and this is the Fresh Prince's new defintion of summer madness

[plongin]
