Summery Albums...
Can anyone recommend me some upbeat happy stuff to compliment the sunny weather? Saves the Day - In Reverie is doing the job at the moment. :)

^^^Absolutely
Especially the last one Teenager, the sun always shines that little bit brighter when its playing.
hence my name
:D
Teenager by The Thrills,
and any Teenage Fanclub, particularly Bandwagonesque and Grand Prix.
These three albums soundtracked my last summer. I wish it was last summer again...
The first few notes of Teenager - just...perfect.
I will never tire of this album.
i think you're the first person
i know of on here, that also likes The Thrills.
i live by this band.
:D
As do I. The music they make is properly inspirational.
It was around this time last year I properly discovered them. 6th form was nearly over and I was terrified of what came afterwards, I was in tentative pursuit of my current girlfriend, I was struggling to adjust to my first job etc etc...
Sounds terribly cliched, but this album grabbed me by the balls and gave me the confidence to jump from my comfort zone.
its a shame
that the rest of the album is utter gash
Piebald - We Are The Only Friends That We Have
And Minus The Bear - Highly Refined Pirates
fuck
yes!!
minus the bear :D
Husker Du - Candy Apple Grey
particularly good for driving in summery times.
The Little Ones - Sing Song
The Avalanches - Since I Left You
The Shins - Oh Inverted World
Modest Mouse - Good News For People Who Love Bad News
Animal Collective - Feels
Pavement
Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain
that's a good
choice!
The Life Pursuit
by B&S, that's probably just personal memories though.
Oh yes

The first Go! Team record tastes like sunshine love.

I think I'm gonna give that Avalanches album a listen and give The Thrills another chance as it is a long time since I've listened to them. :)
The Avalanches album
is one of the best albums ever made, I love it! I can't wait for their eventual follow up, though its been almost 8 years now... it will come! THAT BOY NEEDS THEROPY! PSYCOSOMATIC
Since I Left You is brilliant
you won't regret it.
