Summer, where art thou?

It’s practically August and all we’ve had here in the Midwest is a slew of crazy thunderstorms. While I’m appreciative of this crazy weather, especially when I’m lying in bed at night and flashes of lighting illuminate my room and help reassure that there’s no psycho killer hiding in my closet, I can’t help but point out to anyone willing to listen how it just doesn’t feel like summer.Where are the sunny days? The cool breezes? The dairy queen dipped cones?
If I can’t get the weather to remind me of summer, at least I still have feel-good summer tunes. One a day for a week. Let’s roll.
#1 Thos Henley – “Summer on the Thames”
Hand claps, banjo, and love. If that’s not a recipe for a great pop song, I don’t know what is.

You can take a gander over to Thos Henley’s (aka Tom Henley aka ex-Rival Joustas frontman) official myspace to listen to a spruced up, equally great single version of the song. If memory serves right, there used to be a pretty fantastic video for the song, but YouTube seems to have eaten it. Bummer.
