Hold on here. Let's pump the breaks a little bit. We're getting a bit out of control.
September already? How did this happen?
Even if I tried to act like it was still the summer months, the weather here in Southern California won't let me. We've officially hit the hottest month(s) and boy, has it come out firing. We've easily been in the triple digits each day and there are no sign of it slowing down. Might as well get used to it for another sixty days, apply that sun screen liberally, and continue on.
On a side note though - I realize this week was void of any stories. That I'd like to apologize for. It's just been a tad hectic and busy and I really haven't had the chance to sit down and write something worth while. I'm sure I could have forced something out, but I doubt the quality would have been acceptable - so look forward to next week. I'll get back to my old ways. I promise.
But onto the music shall we?
Again, I'm not going to dive into either selection this time - but rather let the songs do the talking for me. Each is a good summer tune (yes yes, I know summer is over, but I'm trying to keep the dream alive) that'll hopefully ease you into the weekend.
Song one is by an artist that I think is very under appreciated. He's been around for quite sometime and while he has a solid fan base, he just doesn't seem to have ever broken out into the mainstream. He's got the voice, the lyrics, and the musical ability. It just never panned out to what I think he was capable of. Heck, I even forgot about this song until I was listening to my itunes earlier today and it came on shuffle. And now I can't get it out of my head. This is Ben Harper's "Still My Kisses."
Song number two is a classic. Yes - it may be more of my generation, but I hope that when anyone hears it, they immediately think of the warm summer months. Cruising down the boulevard, towards the beach, windows down, sunglasses on, not a care in the world. Get it? The only sad thing about this song is that it makes me wish that the band was still around, with its original lineup. I would love to have had the chance to see them live. This is Sublime's "What I got."
