SS10 Soundtrack

I'm on the hunt for the soundtrack to my Spring and Summer 2010. The charm of this, my favorite part of the year, is always just that much better with a pitch perfect one or two albums to pair it with. And the memories always resonate just that much more clearly when you have a soundtrack that accompanies them.

Some of my more memorable SS Soundtracks:

2001: Zero 7's Simple Things
2003: The Sea & Cake's One Bedroom
2004: John Legend's Get Lifted, Wilco's A Ghost is Born
2005: The Magnetic Fields' 69 Love Songs and Broken Social Scene's You Forgot it in People (I was late to both parties)
2006: Ratatat's Classics and Belle & Sebastian's The Life Pursuit
2008: The Dodo's Visiter and She & Him's Volume 1
2009: Animal Collective's Merriweather Post Pavillion and The Xx's 2.0 and some Best Coast

I know I'll be updating that list soon.

  1. the dodo's visiter is so overwhelmingly summer 08 i can't even listen to it anymore -- commuting from santa monica to burbank in your pos toyota pick-up, 103 degrees outside and sweating buckets, both windows rolled down, blaring track 10 through the one good speaker.

  2. i can't listen to John Legend without hearing you belting out eh-ver-y lyric along with him at the HOB concert. and Wilco has multiple associations now, with the early 00's L2 daze and with NOLA Jazz Fest '09.
