Summer tunes

I have a fantasy that once this week wraps up and the rain goes away, it will feel more and more like summer. Except for those unfortunately friends with allergies, this is the happiest time of year for everyone. To get in the mood, and chase the rain away, I have been searching out fun, happy, summer music, and I'm looking to girl bands because—let's be real—they are much more fun.

I feel a bit guilty doing this, because you should all BUY this album on LP rather than just download it, but here is a sample of my new favourite band, Peach Kelli Pop. They hail from Ottawa, but their myspace page says that they're from Nunavut (even cooler!!).



 So cute! I love girls and the sweet music they produce. I want to listen to this while drinking mojitos and reading old issues of Sassy! (Speaking of which, have you seen Jane Pratt's newest foray?)

Another great band that I know nothing about yet is called Las Robertas. They have kind of a noisey garage rock thing going on, and they are doing it all right. You can sample their album here.

While going through my friend Nik's records the other day, I found a record by a band called Oh Ok, and there was a picture of a cat on the cover—which sold me, obviously.



Hope you love some of the music I've shared. Take a minute to listen and relax, and picture yourself outside in the sun wearing cute shades and sandals.
