Mingus`s Oh Yeah is a great album,Hog Callin Blues is totally killer! <img> (Roland Kirk and Booker Ervin made a great sax team).My fav Mingus album is Right Now At The Jazz Workshop,check out the song New Fables on Audiogalaxy,it`s 23 minutes of the wildest jazz possible.
Slim Harpo is cool,used to have his Best Of comp on Rhino,Gatemouth Brown`s Pressure Cooker is a good album,borrowed that from the library before;Lemonheads and Replacements is always good summer music.

[wireland]

salami….. "eat that chicken" is my fave track from oh yeah. i have the town hall concerts and live at the carnegie, but don’t have the jazz workshop Lp you mentioned……..maybe we should set up some trades. after you brought up the jazz this morning i listened to roland kirk "kirk’s work" and elvin jones "poly currents"

[wireland]

and P.S…….as far as mingus’ sax men go………..dolphy is god……

[buckingham rabbit]

album:
american analog set: from our living room to yours

songs:
CCR: lookin’ out my back door
belle and sebastian: a summer wasting
m. ward: o’brien/o’brien’s nocturne

and the ultimate summer song:
yo la tengo: green arrow

[Robert]

Violent Femmes -Violent Femmes
The Rentals -Return of The Rentals
Ash -1977

[Bucky Ramone]

Some albums:

Young Marble Giants – Colossal Youth
Morcheeba – Fragments of freedom
Utah Carol – Comfort for the traveler
Calexico – Hot Rail

…and of course…..

V/A – Summer Hits of the 50’s and 60’s
picked this vinyl album up for a few guilders at a record fair, it includes gems like Brian Hyland’s "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini" and the Surfaris "Wipe Out" (and the lady on the sleeve is worth a look as well, although the ideas about ‘itsy bitsy, teenie weenie’ bikinis have changed a lot the last few decades….. <img> )

[malcom]

Weezer-Blue and Green work better for summer
Jimmy Cliff-The harder they come
Bob Marley-Legend
Breeders-Last Splash
The Smiths-The World Won’t Listen (Just Joking)
Grateful Dead-American Beauty
Nick Drake-Bryter Layter (not joking!)
Miles Davis-Sounds of Spain

I’d list Mingus, but I ALWAYS listen to Mingus

[SG]

Wireland-That New Fables song I mentioned is on that Jazz Workshop album,just go through the pages of Mingus`s section on AG and you`ll find it.The other song on that album is`nt there for some reason,or it`s on a later page.
The Town Hall concert stuff is great by the way <img>

[Long Distance Drunk]

Weezer–Blue
Guided by Voices–Bee Thousands
Sebadoh–Bakesale
Pietasters–oolooloo
Pilfers–Chumbawambaleng
Jurassic 5–Quality Control
The Roots Come Alive
I like more ska/popish "punk"/hip-hop in the summer, less "sad bastard" shite. Its still like 50 degrees here, though. Sucks, I’m supposed to go to the beach next week <img>
