radical summer tunes pt. 2

More of my summer faves for awkwardly sweating the night away:


7. Bananarama - Cruel Summer. Silly. Girl group. Synth. Do you need any more information?


8. Tears For Fears - Head Over Heels. Something about the forward momentum of the song and the dreamy 80s-ness really speak to me, okay?


9. Best Coast - When I'm With You. Pretty sure this was or is on everyone's summer playlists already, but it's well deserved. The perfect song to get drunk to on the beach.


10. Beach Boys - Don't Worry Baby. One of the most comforting and nice-to-listen-to jams ever. Let his falsetto sing you into summer oblivion.


11. The Replacements - Can't Hardly Wait. IDK, dudes, it's a fun song about anticipation! Ashtray floors, dirty clothes, and filthy jokes. Sounds about right.


12. Gross Ghost - Leslie. I first heard this song 2-3 summers ago and listened to the mix it was on over and over and over. Just a goofy, jangly pop song, but it specifically reminds me of summers in Tacoma.

Well there you have it. This is by no means a comprehensive list, just the first songs that came to mind coupled with songs that I always put on rotation during the summer. What are your favorite summer jams?
