Summertime when the weather is hot

Happy first day of summer everyone!!!

That means the time of summer songs is here! As a semi-listener of top 40 pop music, I am disappointed in the contenders for the song of the summer. I ran across this list on Yahoo one day. While sorta-catchy, the #1 song by Rihanna isn't doing much for me, which is weird, because it should be right up my alley. The second song by Fergie is a balladish number, and not a good one at that, I can't even remember the tune though I've watched the video maybe twice. I don't even know the others, except that maybe "Lean Like A Cholo" would so be worth hunting down just for the song title.

#13 on the list is my favoritest of those listed. Lil Mama making a song all about lipgloss is just perfect. A little brattish and way way catchy.


However just yesterday I heard my own song for the summer, a nice ska-tinged tune by Mr. Tim Frickin' Armstrong:

ISN'T IT GREAT?! I LOVE IT!!! I've heard it's getting radio play. He's got an ear for a tune, whether it was Operation Ivy, Rancid, the Transplants or the one-off song by the Silencers, or writing songs for Pink.

Also finally, Ted Leo gets his answer on where the rudeboys have gone. They're still influencing music, thank goodness!

I know where more rudies (and skins) will show up! At the scattered Inspecter 7 shows happening this summer!! I am so psyched! I got my worst concert injury at an Inspecter 7 show--where this big skinhead collided against me and my glasses scratched my eyes--MY EYE! Actually, it was okay, it just looked like I had purple eyeliner for a while. Hot. (My glasses were still okay. They always seem to survive intact :) ALL HELL WILL BREAK LOSE. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. OI! OI!

KILL, WHERE IS MY INSPECTER 7 CD????!!?!!

I got a new CD yesterday, because I really really liked one song off it and it was cheap with a DVD! Rodrigo y Gabriela's self-titled CD is acoustic guitar genius! <3
