The bulk of this week’s playlist is one of my dumb group of songs that share some minor trait. The music is good even if the “concept” is stupid.

“Summer Breeze” – Seals and Crofts
It’s summertime, bitches.

“High Life” – Bloc Party
“American Candy” – The High Water Marks
“Ease On” – The High Violets
“Standing on an Empire” – Highspire
“It’s Fine” – Bethany Cosentino
A bunch of songs or acts with that all contain the word high. Plus the debut solo track by Bethany Cosentino, who often sings about getting/being high. I blame the Music Gods, but feel free to blame me.

“Why Can’t I Touch It?” – The Buzzcocks
“Waterfall” – The Stone Roses
Two classics featured on season three of Ted Lasso.

“Bootleg Firecracker” – Middle Kids
Oooooh, new Middle Kids music! No release date for an album yet, but they promise it will be a departure from the sound they are known for. A sound that I love a lot. So fingers crossed this new stuff hits me the same way.
