The songs of summer, keeping it local. This was tuff as it's my 3d summer compilation this year, having just finished one a few weeks ago with Colin for Break Out The Grill '09. But I do love the songs of summer. To me, this means an ecclectic mix of current and old, dance and rock, alternative and mainstream since summer is an all out celebration of fun, in all its forms. I stuck to the Chicago local - adding a Wilco tune, along with a favorite from Crosby Stills & Nash about a turbulent time in the City under old man Dailey. I confess that my artwork is clearly not Chicago, but I love the feeling eminating from this guy's gutsy ride on a wave, and was determined to use this photo. Catching a wave is, after all, a quintessential summertime move.
