Memorial Day is the unofficial start to Summer, so we're celebrating it with Summer songs!
Indie Selection: The Decemberists - "Summersong"
This song is a great example of how well the Decemberists can combine an uplifting melody and bittersweet lyrics. The melody has a subtle sway and an almost lazy, lackadaisical feel. Enjoy it and think about long, relaxing summer weekends.
Pop Selection: Gwen Stefani featuring Akon - "The Sweet Escape"
Although Akon's "Woo Hoo"s becomes a little overbearing after the first minute or so, the overall effect of this song is pop perfection.
Stay tuned, more tunes to come!
