A short post, compared to my last monstrosity. I think I've realized what my album for this summer is. Last summer, I had two, Let's Get Out of This Country, by Camera Obscura, and Strawberry Jam, by Animal Collective. I don't always keep up with new releases, and can connect to albums almost a year or more after the fact. this summer's album is a clear example of that.
69 Love Songs, by The Magnetic Fields!!!
I had listened to it previously, but the full greatness only hit me earlier this summer, where it has been in heavy rotation ever since. I'll probably always identify this time with this album. So the choice seemed simple.
