And now I'm chilling on my day off, to The Kings Of Convenience - Riot On An Empty Street. The best quiet summer day album evah.

I'm listening to that right now, ishnt dat weeard?

Great album, thankfully not many people have heard of them, so when they do get played its great.

Ssssshhhh...don't tell anyone. They might become famous and then we wouldn't be cool.

Two that immediately spring to mind are Stardust's "Music Sounds Better With You", and this:

Memories of The Alhambra by Tarrega:

(played by someone I'd never previously heard of, and quite easy on the eye)

[Slothario]

Can't go wrong with a little jazz on a summers day....
Obvious choices include....
Girl from Ipanema - Astrud Gilberto
Pick up the pieces - Average White Band.
Take Five - Dave Brubeck .... great,
..............though some of Dexter Gordons more mellow stuff is worth tracking down - nice.

Oh, and Here Comes The Sun by The Beatles for the 'Summer Themed Playlist"

Mine too - also, if I had to have a funeral song, it would be this.

This is an awesome version too. "Blowing through the jasmine of my mind".

[jimpritchard]

My two favourites have to be Summertime as mentioned above by Jazzy Jeff etc and also "Boys of Summer", although I am expecting the torrent of abuse telling me that "Boys of Summer" is not a summer song.....
