Whats the best music in this heat?

[CV]

as the heat affects your state of mind, i guess it effects the way you hear music.

also, the humidity in the air ( or lack of ) and the air molecules getting heated up, actually effects the way sound energy itself travels, so music does actually sound different.

(mostly this poll is just to get rid of the crap one about favourite car)

[spoon]

reggae. it's incredibly effective in extreme heat, even if you're not mad into it otherwise.

[jukka]

yay, i am missing the reggae/dancehall/ragga option as well.

[jukka]

eeven though i don't mind a cold beer and punk music in the heat.

[cut out]

gotta say, hot sunny days in europe (not Uk) is one of the times techno really works for me, especially of the wonky-sqwonky kind.

[Jeniffer Mills]

reggae. it's incredibly effective in extreme heat, even if you're not mad into it otherwise.

...same here....I hardly listen to electronic music during hot weather.....

[mdk]

ive been misfits / dead kennedys every day..bit of minor threat.

[thembuzz]

i'm always about the hip-hop in the summer months

[ckpqerjwrpwp]

Everything sounds better in the sun. Theres something about Reggae working better definitely but also something fiercely experimental works great with sun streaming in... The only better time is when it's snowed and the world is covered in an anechoic blanket.

[Paddy]

always hippitey-hop when the sun comes out to play

[stinkfinger]

T-T-T-T-T-TEkNO-TEkNO


hahahha :-)

i was working on sunday in rubadub, and i listened to the same record (new arpanet) for the whole 5 hr shift. its that good

[Tec]

Loving the new Cursor Miner album..thats bodes well in this heat.

[Spandex]

Blues n ragtime all the way.. deep south washboard grooves and blind guitarists on crackly recordings from 1940. It's the sound of "sitting on the porch in a heatwave".

[Daddys Girl]

I've gone with Reggae too...

[gypsy_cream]

just goin by the other weekend...

lying in leith links park with the messenger dub soundsystem on with a heat over 28 degs... i hardly ever listen to dub/reggae but in the heat and the amount of rum/acid consumed.. it seemed perfect

[kams]

headphones are making my head too sweaty...

Radio3 in the car though... loving the classical through urban london mish mash.

The dynamics on Radio3 are quite varied as well - it can get quite emotional if you crank it up during a quiet bit then forget.

mmmmm thats a proper summer cocktail..they never show you how to make that on u.k. living

[Jeniffer Mills]

Listening to latin tunes is also good...with a caipirinha or rumpunch in your hand...:)

[soulcheck]

Yeah, latin stuff's great. The only one that makes me want to dance more than techno.

[bracket]

Pure Dub all the way...

[ivan]

i´m so alone with charlie parker.

damn you people with your boomboxes!!!

can´t hear a damn thing!

[cut out]

Four Tet's Pause is probably the most consistently caned summer holiday LP for me.

[thembuzz]

if you'll forgive the crawling for one moment, i've found raw digits works brilliantly at the height of summer and the darkest depths of winter

[ckpqerjwrpwp]

Miles Davis - Sketches of Spain is a very summery album

Mingus - The Saint and the sinner lady too... sounds like a honking hot day in new york...

[shuttlecart]

manitoba's first lp is sunny

[cut out]

Miles Davis - Sketches of Spain is a very summery album


Yeah, listened to that in the park whilst having a picnic lunch on saturday...perfect music for such an occasion.

[big raff]

2 hot summers day recommendations........
grandaddy - A.M 180
my bloody valentine - sunny sundae smiles

[cut out]

'isn't anything' is a wicked summer LP.

So's Swervedriver - 'Raise'

In fact, almost all shoegazing in the sun is great.

[Ladytron]

i don't know what i like to listen. i'm lost. maybe turbofolk.

[grobelaar]

Raggae/Dub for me, I have fond memories of whenever there's one of those silly festival things in south london - they always have some right on cause - like raise awareness of domestic violence or whatever, there's always a massive dub tent - and the sound dub, combined with a sometime spliff and a decent piece of hash cake - can't be beaten. Last one I went to I had a big box of hash flapjack to distribute amongst the happy campers - was excellent.

Mind you decent techno/electronic is close behind. I'm with Cut Out, the wonky/squelchy kind... You can't beat lounging out in the baking sun, with some massive cabs throwing out some serious bass. I don't know - does the sun have a frequency? Maybe music can resonate with it...

[registered]

this should be a various options poll, as i listen to many different styles in summer...
the pulpp fiction soundtrack is also great, we listen to it since AAAGGGEEESS in summer, yes its really good :)

[Ladytron]

sorry for the interruption.

kams, i just saw your avatar and i was very surprised that your kid looks like almost the same as my best friend's daughter Luna

i've only heard of this music from reading about ceca, so i presume you are taking the piss? i don't really know much about it though :)

[AVX23]

Dub and the sound of someone putting sherbet in your head.

[Paddy]

it's all about The Pharcyde/The Souls of Mischief/Bay Area hip-hop when it comes to summer.

[ckpqerjwrpwp]

it's all about The Pharcyde/The Souls of Mischief/Bay Area hip-hop when it comes to summer.

Yeah "93 til infinity" and "Passin' me by"

[Paddy]

well, those two are good, they remind me of being a 15 year old carefree skateboarder, but there are more.

the whole of Bizarre Ride 2 for Pharcyde, and Heiroglyphics is pretty good when it comes to SOM.

best pharcyde song's On The Downlow anyways.

[solitary_zen]

Edgar Froese - Pinnacles

(though I'm in southern Australia, where we are currently having our coldest winter for a few decades...)

[ckpqerjwrpwp]

I like that Casual track 'Me oh mi' or whatever.. might have been a Heiroglyphics remix.. the pianoey one. Sons of Mischief I never really dug apart from '93'.

[JE:5]

i've just been listening to the same mixture of music that I always do.

[spoon]

it's raining here and i'm listening to talk radio so i don't what the fuck you are all talking about either.

[johno]

i got a 4cd blues collection called broke, black and blue which is a kind of one-hit wonders of delta blues. so many great tunes especially cripple clarence lofton 'strut that thing', which is like 1930s house music

[Ladytron]

i've only heard of this music from reading about ceca, so i presume you are taking the piss? i don't really know much about it though :)


i can't believe you know Ceca! where and why you read about her? hmm... where are you from? i was joking but here you are 3 videos of the 3 bigest turbo folk serbain singers. you must listen it loud and watch with eyes open wide :-)


Jelena Karleusha - Ludacha (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TeQeADv4f0&search=jelena%20karleusa)

Ksenija Pajcin - Samo Me Gledaj (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZDSlBHdw7k&search=ksenija%20pajcin)

Ceca - 39.2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsnBwvfCbqU&search=ceca)

[marcel]

there's the funk in that poll?:(

[spoon]

this is where i heard about her...

http://observer.guardian.co.uk/magazine/story/0,,1115505,00.html

it's a very interesting story to say the least!

yes, her life story is interesting. i'm going to read the story ftom that link.

[Sheridan]

a lot of people are spot on. it is a tuff call.
for me, I dig on hip hop, deep fucked techno or electro and certainly reggae/dub, which is what I voted for.

pharcyde, tribe called quest, blackstar and company flow do me right in a summer time heat wave.

for techno I would go with cristian's dungeon master. some of the tracks are deep sweaty grooves.

I like miles' bitches brew for a little jazz.
but I saw bring on rhythm & sound.

[Paddy]

i'll go for a wee bit of Antipop as well, and a barbeque too.

[JE:5]

Actually though, to be honest i've been listening to a lot more experiemental and industrial stuff these past couple of months.

[FiST]

polka.

I have been a bit of a whitehouse kick as of late.
and it has been getting really hot here.

[nikrem]

dr alimantado - best dressed chicken in town, trojan ska compilations, and the n-ron sound-ink mix all the way so far

[V Knid esq]

Ch-ch-chizzopped and s-s-s-s-scrizzewed hip hop, dog!

I had but can't find a chopped and screwed soul tape... Teddy Prendergrass Love TKO slowed down to a crawl with slurpy syrup 2-copy scratching is pure sweat!

[V Knid esq]

Loads of music sounds better in the sun though... my favourite driving tapes at the moment are Dusty Springfield 'Dusty In Memphis' and an old Blue Note compilation.

[aleks]

yesterday i was on the train back home. it was sunset and all the fields and forests outside were covered in a golden light. beautiful. i was listening to fennesz - endless summer...happy audio, now that was a fantastic track to listen to while looking outside the window...

this stuff is cool.
what is their story?

[ckpqerjwrpwp]

Yes, Luca :)

does he live on the second floor?

[Jeniffer Mills]

B 52s "Summer of love"....Nice lttle summer ditty..

[love_tempo]

Drone and noise music when it's absolutely baking is great. My poor dog dolly collapsed in fits with heat-stroke a few days ago during the height of it :( I imagine that she was hearing something like a sonic youth freewheeling in her little head. Had to rush her to the vet and an injection brought her crashing back to life.

As for me, I like the early lee perry/wailers in the sun, especially if I'm by the seaside in Kerry...pure joy. Digable planets are great for summer hip-hop. Woodie guthrie's dust bowl ballads and robert johnsons's delta blues are very nice too.

There must be some great middle-eastern music too?

[spoon]

this stuff is cool.

it's great isn't it? he was in ash ra tempel among other things...
