Summer is firmly in the rear-view mirror, and to lament its passing I'd like to include a couple of bittersweet post-summer songs.
The first is from a Hamburg group called Saal 2. The title of this 1981 song, "Strandgefuehle" translates to something like "beach-feelings." You can listen to it here.
The second is called "Summer Girl" by the Summer Sounds.
Finally, and more recently, this is "Summer Dress" by the Red House Painters.
But do not wilt in the face of these wistful melodies -- there is hope. This Sunday, you can catch an exciting new duo called Slow Bros at McCoy's Public House in Westport. They're playing a show with the Denver Broncos (best band name of the century) at around 9:30. I mean, just look at these guys.

Oh I remember many a night spent drinking at Saal II (ok, we never actually went there, but we could've)
I especially appreciate the rhyme:
"Sie hat ein Handtuch
mit blauen Flecken
sie liest ein Kant Buch
mit tausend Ecken"
i thought that the estimation of the kant buch as having only a thousand corners was a bit low, but I suppose you with the slow jam you don't want to hyperinflate
moritz, happy birthday and great work on the b&w portraits
