Summer Jams
Happy Weekend!
Summer is synonymous with music. Festivals, the latest summer anthem turned up on a roadtrip, pool tunes, soundtracks to long days and warm nights. Enjoy a selection of links exploring this theme.
This weekend’s links include:
The unbelievably extensive damage caused to so many artists’ catalogs by the Universal Records fire in 2008, covered extensively by the NY Times.
A walk down memory lane with every “song of the summer” from each year since 1958.
Like “Living la Vida Loca” and the Macarena, Santana’s “Smooth” with Rob Thomas was a 1990’s phenomenon. Esquire looks at the making of the slick ear-worm twenty years later.
This very funny interview, in which Donald Glover talks about being intimidated to sing next to Beyoncé in Disney’s remake of The Lion King.
And finally, music for plants. Yes, this is actually a thing, and not just a niche song by Audio Adrenaline. Who knew?!

Have a beautiful weekend!
