I bought a copy of Pills ‘N’ Thrills ‘N’ Bellyaches on May 1, 2001, which was a very sunny day, and proceeded to play it that evening (during which I drank a four-pack of Strongbow cider while watching Bayern Munich beating Real Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final), for the rest of that month and for much of that summer - especially this song, written about former Greater Manchester Chief Constable James Anderton. It’s a very summery album, whereas their first two albums are pretty dark and much more suited to late September/October listening.

Pavement, Summer Babe, 1992.

I considered that earlier, great tune to open a great album, but it didn’t feel summery at all

What is it about “summer in the title” that’s hard to get? Remarkable the number of posters that can’t follow basic instructions (not directed solely at you). Once again, it’s not songs that came out in summer or remind a poster of summer or a particular summer.

Besides if you’re high enough, Summer Babe is very summery.

But this was a better summer blockbuster hit.

Hmm, your first line says summer music. I think that works better.

I will be making a playlist for a road trip round California this summer so this thread is a great resource.

I hope your trip doesn’t clash with Limerick’s triumphant August.

You’re making as big of balls of this thread with your pretend moderating as you did in the advanced cooking thread.

Do you think a firmer hand is needed?

I think you should keep your snout out of it.

Great tune

You’re right, I do have a conflict of interest
