Late spring and summer, more than
any other time of year, calls for perfect
musical accompaniment and lots of it.
Some might entrust their ears to this
year's radio fare and its usual inundation
of Smashmouth singles and throwaway
ditties about "girls who wear
Abercrombie and Fitch." So be it, but it's
my suggestion to the true music devotees
out there that constructing your own
warm weather soundtrack can be more
fun and more constructive - and easy,
with only a little good advice.
As the legendary prophet Mike D
once said, "A good mix tape [can] put
you in the right mood." Wiser words
have seldom been uttered. Following, in
no particular order, is a series of songs
you might consider including on such a
compilation. Each of these selections

captures, in one way or another, the
essence of carefree summer days and
nights. So roll down the windows, light
one up if that's your thing, tuck those
cheap plastic sunglasses behind your
ears and enjoy:
1. The Beatles, "Good Day
Sunshine"
This one . goes without saying.
Everything about it is summer. I don't
care what sort of tragic road your life has
taken, if the sun is shining through the
window when you wake up in the morn-
ing and you throw this on, you're sure to
be in better spirits. Like much of the
Beatles' catalog, it is simple yet bewil-
deringly effective.
2. The Beach Boys, "Wouldn't It Be
Nice"
The premier single from Brian
Wilson's celebrated masterpiece "Pet
Sounds," "Wouldn't it be Nice" is anoth-

er given. A seamless collage of orches-
tral splendor and the Boys' lilting falset-
tos, the song is the heartbreaking plea of
young lovers, prevented by their tender.
age from "marriage" and "spending the
night together." Although hopelessly
sentimental and syrupy, Wilson steers
clear of schmaltz simply by being so
goddamned sincere.
3. Belle and Sebastian, "The
Rollercoaster Ride"
Scottish guitar-pop outfit Belle and
Sebastian are gifted at the art of subtlety,
a talent that is especially apparent on
"The Rollercoaster Ride." The song is a
wispy delight. If the plinking pianos and
lightly-strummed guitars don't get you,
vocalist Sarah Martin's cherubic, sing-
along chorus is sure to stick to your brain
like a swarm of honey-coated barbs.
4. Dr. Dre, "Dre Day"
This song will remind me ad infini-
tum of the summer of 1993 - riding
shotgun in a monstrous 1978 Cadillac
Coupe de' Ville, wearing absurdly baggy
jeans (complete with a wallet chain) and,
of course, drinking 40s. Here Dre and
Snoop team up, deftly trading rhymes
over some of the stinkiest funk ever to be
stolen from George Clinton. Word up,
beeyatch.
5. Luna, "California (All the Way)"
Quite possibly one of the finest pop
songs of the '90s, "California" is
smoothly psychedelic, a light mix of
atmospheric guitar tones and brushed
drums, over which vocalist Dean
Warham warbles about the long drive
from New England to California: "And
now I realize I'm living like a trucker
does, although I haven't got the belly."
Classic stuff indeed.
6. R.E.M., "Nightswimming"
Perhaps you once lived near the ocean
or a lake. Maybe you had a friend who
did or maybe you just decided to hop the
fence after hours at a public beach one
night. Perhaps you might have even gone
(gasp) skinny-dipping. Remember the
feeling ofjumping blindly into the black
water, of being surprised at its warmth as
you splashed wildly underneath the
stars? This song captures that feeling.
Perfectly.
7. Jane's Addiction, "Summertime
Rolls"
An enormous, sprawling epic,
"Summertime Rolls" starts as acoustic
strum and ends as thunderous, Zeppelin-
esque magnificence. Dave Navarro's
brilliant guitar-leads weave around Perry
Farrell's acid-colored visions of child-

Every summer can be a Summer of
hood memories and barefoot esc:
with his girlfriend.
8. The Flaming Lips, "Buggil
