Summr Jams *09 / / / Vol. 3

oh, FUCK!

Volume 3 has landed and i think it’s the best of the bunch. Sonny & the Sunsets got the top slot and being San Francisco’s best reclusive homebody band they deserve a little attention. “Chapters” is a hit in every sense of the word, its timeless boogie woogie and doe eyed earnest positivity is just as undeniable as it is adorable. I’ve been listening to it everyday, rain or shine, and it has its best effect under duress of sunshine. Just something to keep in mind. The rest of the mix is pretty much drowning in killer tunes, some of which being featured on this site before and others not. Also, if you haven’t noticed yet each of the three volumes end with a special dreamy come down jam that is meant to hit right as that sun sets or rises after some life affirming fun that the squares just couldn’t and wouldn’t ever understand. Here’s to a lovely summer where ever you are.
