Comment:

As diverse as these bands are (which are mostly bands I've liked for years), this compilation wasn't too hard to put together through a common theme... And since summer's now here in full force, especially in Texas, it's only fitting for the season. I had to throw add some songs w/ the word "sun" to break the monotony of the word "summer". There are some love themes here as well. Does anyone know where that "seasons in the sun" song comes from?? I'm not even sure it's by Blink, but I can't find out what album it's from, no matter who it is...catchy song nontheless. Anyway, personally, I like it when it's cool & cloudy, but no one ever makes songs about that :-P So you summer freaks go enjoy the heat!!

Terry Jacks had a minor hit with "Seasons in the Sun" back in the 70s.......( "We had joy, we had fun...."), maybe that's it.......

What? No "Blister in the Sun?" (Violent Femmes)Would've made a great addition.

Buth, yes, Blister in the Sun would've worked,
but I'm really sick of it :-) but it didn't
really fit the vibe of the rest of the songs, almost
too hyper.... too dancy even.
You can thank an 80's dance club for that :D
Valis, yes, those are the lyrics. It even
says it's a Misfits cover in winamp, but some people
just don't label songs right, lol

Yay for the 311 opener. + that Alice Cooper song is 1 of the best high-school-is-over-so-fuck-everything songs ever. Yes, yes, yesyesYES! I'm thinking we gotta trade, 'cause someone like you has the earmarks of 1 who just might save my soul someday. Consider it. Out.
