If you're near a radio or computer this morning, tune into KUOW, 94.9 FM from 9a-10a!

I'm slightly nervous but really excited to join Seattle tastemakers Larry Mizell Jr. of The Stranger and Josh Powell, Vera Project Programming Co-Director in the sure-to-be-lively discussion about the songs and festivals of summer 2009. To prepare, I've gathered a couple of my favorite summer 2009 songs to add to the mix (if there's time) and I've got two huge mugs of tea brewing.
Call in and let us know your thoughts on what you're going to go see and what your summer soundtrack song is! The phone number is 206.543.KUOW (800.289.KUOW). For those outside of Seattle, you can listen online.

(although if you like that song, buying the whole album would be a safe bet).
I also played:
K.I.S.S.I.N.G. by U.S.E. - I was going to play "All the World" (both songs being from their upcoming release LOVEWORLD) -- but then ChrisB pointed out this one and I agree, totally summer 2009 material.
"Sunshinin" by Cancer Rising - This is a blast from the recent past - and another excellent ChrisB recommendation. Playing it before the other ones I picked out worked out perfectly (with being able to get the inside scoop on the song from CR master himself Larry Mizell Jr. who was sitting across the table from me).
The songs I wanted to play but we didn't have time for (so you should go play them now to kick summer into high gear:
- "Northern California" by Police Teeth (not necessarily safe for radio - but killer summer roadtrip song)
- "But We Always Set Up On The Floor" by No-Fi Soul Rebellion
- "Now We Can See" by The Thermals
- "I See A Brightness" by Lacrosse
- "Give It A Chance" by Coulter
- "Pop Chart by Tiny Masters Of Today
- "Corner Store Girls by Tea Cozies
- "All The Other Animals" by Skeletons With Flesh On Them
Thanks to everyone who listened!6 josh bomb said on July 17, 2009
