Spring?

I'll start by saying rules are meant to be broken. F-IT I'M DOUBLE POSTING

you know those tunes that totally remind you of spring time? Be it the album release, or just the vibe of the song, but I have a few that get played at eardrum bursting volume on those first few warm days. it gets me all excited to wear shorts and flip flops, BBQ, put sunscreen on, see girls in sundresses and skirts, and everything else wonderful about spring time.

for some strange reason this Roots song got me thinking about this notion.

Whats even stranger, is as I write this its 38 degrees out inda Poconos. but I digress.

here's my list (there are a lot more, and i'd like you to tell me your spring tunes in the comments Wink Wink)

1. Goodnight Rose- Ryan Adams- Easy Tiger (Memories of cranking this in Kardon May 2007)

2. He's Gone- Grateful Dead- Europe '72 (had to throw a heady tune in there)

3. Originality- Thievery Corporation- Versions (reggae is the most obvious enjoyable spring tunes, and this one is really irie) i just wanted to say irie

4. Shake it Fast- Mystikal- Let's Get Ready-2000 ( TREME reminded me of this one, and JULES did it some serious justice on MAY DAY up here by playing it at max volume)

During Paul McCartney's Wings Over America tour, Paul had a party on board the Queen Mary. He invited two bands - Professor Longhair and the Meters. That should tell you a little something about what music HE thought was good.

Here is Professor Longhair live on the Queen Mary. Seriously, get this and crank it.
