Well, tuck the first week of June under your belt.
Wooh.
I probably sound like a broken record, but hot damn, time is flying fast. June already? Seriously, when did that happen?
One of the aspects about LA that I hate is June. Literally the whole month. For some reason, the entire month is gloomy - hence titled June Gloom. You wake up and it's dark and cloudy. By the time you get home, it's dark and cloudy. Maybe, just maybe during the day the sun will burn it off for a little bit, but it always comes back. When I first moved out here, I thought I'd like it because it'd remind me of the East Coast and home. But I was nieve. I thought the clouds would bring rain with them - but no. Nothing. Just grey, overcast skies. For a couple days I'm fine with it. Come day fifteen, I'm annoyed with it. By the end of the month, I'm dying for sunshine. Especially since everyone else in LA doesn't know how to deal with it and goes into a month long fit of depression. No lie. People mope about, shoulders slumped, grumpy. It's really weird.
Luckily it's early in the month so I'm appreciating the change in weather. Cruising along in the morning under a blanket of clouds is still nice. But like all weather, a certain type of music is required. So thats why I'm choosing the next song for you. It's mellow. Has a melody that is pure, sweet, and simple. It just flows easily, as if it would be a perfect companion on a rainy or snowy day (I don't mean for that to sound so poetic, but really, the song is perfect for a that kind of weather). Most of you probably have forgotten about this band and only know them for their one hit, "Stacey's Mom," but I assure you, Fountains of Wayne has some real gems in their discography. I'd say they're grossly underrated as a band and I hope that this will invoke you to go out and listen to more of their stuff. Do yourself a favor and kick back and relax a bit to Fountain of Wayne's "Valley Winter Song."
Have a great weekend!
