For me, undoubtedly, the song has to be inspiring, get me into a good mood, and just overall be pretty upbeat. I think pretty much all of Aaron's songs (the ones I've heard and can bring to mind at least) and most of Ferrario's (same caveat) fulfill this.<BR/><BR/>That said, I don't see Sunshine of Your Love at all. The "do do do do, do do do do do do" baseline is not remotely uplifting to me, although I do like the song.<BR/><BR/>Also, I think you know what I'd say in response to statistics such as "30-40% of the Beach Boys catalog," "My original summer jams playlist was over 100 songs," and "3 pack a day smoking habit from 1967-1992."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6216066561826697576.post-86864297078149276762009-03-09T17:40:00.000-07:002009-03-09T17:40:00.000-07:00re: Ferrario speaksIf you could get Billy Mays I c...re: Ferrario speaks<BR/><BR/>If you could get Billy Mays I could be in for some cash ...<BR/><BR/>http://adweek.blogs.com/.a/6a00d8341c51c053ef0105368e72eb970b-450wiMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11689853017011433800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6216066561826697576.post-49887733392205593622009-03-09T16:55:00.000-07:002009-03-09T16:55:00.000-07:00Mmm ...

Well played.<BR/><BR/>Ellard:<BR/><BR/>I obviously did a lot of soul-searching when it came to "Nuclear." No question that it was a summer jam for us but, if you weren't a member of the Extended Happy Hour crew, do you think it would translate as such. Two points:<BR/><BR/>1) It starts with the line "This is where the summer ends."<BR/>2) Ryan Adams (though I obviously appreciate his work) is almost always incredibly depressing.<BR/><BR/>You're right, it probably deserved a spot on Disc II. Maybe I'll put it on a Disc III with Ferrario's suggestions. Hopefully, this will be a box set eventually.Aaron Bergstromhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16241234019286748070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6216066561826697576.post-60662550350699096462009-03-09T11:33:00.000-07:002009-03-09T11:33:00.000-07:00I have 1 off-the-cuff addition to the B-sides disc...I have 1 off-the-cuff addition to the B-sides disc (which would actually just be another A) that should follow these 2 albums; Nuclear by Ryan Adams.<BR/><BR/>Did I just post a long hate filled rant about why Ryan Adams is worthless? Yes - but hear me out …<BR/><BR/>That album came out (was illegally downloaded at 508) in the winter sometime of 3rd year. By the begining of 4th year the album was irrelevant. Summer in St. Cloud is 1 long weekend in July with 2 “summer weekends” 1 weekend in late April/early May and 1 weekend in September/early October. Elliot refers to late April/early May as summer dress season and I would call September/early October summer v-neck summer.<BR/><BR/>During v-neck summer, the usual suspects (Aaron, myself, Elliot, Branstad, Schoeb, couple extras) were enjoying a Thursday evening at DB’s for happy hour – beers and tacos for everyone. We were upstairs, tables in the middle of the place, no one around us. Nuclear comes on. We all kind of nod and enjoy the song. Conversations do not stop, nothing moves in slow motion, we are enjoying the tune though. On the walk back home, likely through the C-oborns parking lot we figure it out, run home (continue to walk – full of taco and beer), and play the song a couple of times.<BR/><BR/>That my friend is an off-the-cuff addition to the summer jams.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11689853017011433800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6216066561826697576.post-22532420212024592532009-03-09T10:49:00.000-07:002009-03-09T10:49:00.000-07:00Ferrario speaks:Number 1, Al Jardine only gets han...Ferrario speaks:<BR/><BR/>Number 1, Al Jardine only gets hand jobs, so this is why it did not take me long to respond. Brian Wilson is the only one who can have all of me.<BR/><BR/>You're right though: I am pissed off, but not for the reasons you think I am. Does it bother me to hear a Beach Boys song in the winter? Of course not. You perceive this as such, because my guess is you've only been introduced to the 30%-40% of the Beach Boys catalog that got radio play. These songs heavily fetaured words like "surfing", "beach", "sun", and to a lesser extent "t-bird". Of course, these songs all evoke California summers which are diametrically opposed to Minnesota winters. However, if you honestly listen to "God Only Know", "In My Room", "Heroes and Villains", "Long Promised Road", "Please Let Me Wonder", or "Surf's Up" (shocker on the last one I know) and still think of summer, I might just go ahead and accuse you of predjudice. While it is completely true that the Beach Boys are perhaps the greatest summer band of all time, some of their most poignant and meaningful songs evoke the staggering bleakness of winter.<BR/><BR/>It's funny you mentioned the bridge part of "Semi-Charmed Life" -- I was in the car with Alisha last week and that song came on and of course they skipped that part. I remarked that it was my favorite part of that song, so obviously your friend has good taste.<BR/><BR/>Other songs I would add to the list: "Two Princes" by Spin Doctors, "Smooth Criminal" by Alien Ant Farm, "Rockin' the Suburbs" by Ben Folds, "Good" by Better Than Ezra, "Summertime Blues" by Eddie Cochran, "Song 2" by Blur, "Brimful of Asha" by Cornershop (yeah, that just happened), "Sunshine of Your Love" by Eric Clapton, "Epc" by Faith No More, "Flagpole Sitta" by Harvey Danger, "The Middle" by Jimmy Eat World, "Panama" by Van Halen, "I'm Comin' On" by Ten Years After, "Somewhere Across Forever" by Stellastarr*, "Gimme Shelter" by The Rolling Stones, and "The Impression That I Get" by The Mighty Mighty Bosstones.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6216066561826697576.post-1863985129644413882009-03-09T06:43:00.000-07:002009-03-09T06:43:00.000-07:00Wow!
