MP3 Summer Starts Now! Song Number One.

It begins.

After winter dragging on for far too long, and only a few teasing days of warmth, the Mercury meteorologists (we have three on staff, but they usually just fuck around in front of that green screen) have confirmed that the Portland summer has officially begun. Woo.

That said, let’s hear some summer tunes. All day long the End Hits staff (most likely just me, since the rest of the boys are probably at the lake working on one of those cool water ski pyramids) will be bringing you the sounds of summer. Hopefully this will go better than our winter dance mix (“The Winter of Our Discotech”).

While there might be better songs to signal the kickoff of the long warm days ahead, I can’t argue with a track called “Best Summer Ever” by a band called A Sunny Day in Glasgow. Sunny and Summer is the same song? Throw in a giant sun holding two delicious scoops of raisins and you have one unstoppable summertime trifecta.

Lately I'm kind of obsessed with "It Never Rains in Southern California" by Albert Hammond. It's summery, dude. More importantly, it is WISTFUL.

Woah?! A Sunny Day in Glasgow? Ezra, you just blew my mind a bit there. This band/song are so incredibly great, it is kind of ridiculous. Scribble Mural Comic Journal is one of the finest records I can think of in recent memory.

Well, considering he was acquitted of all charges today, may I suggest this:

I seem to be having the same problem as Mr. Depper. Ahem:
