IN LOVE WITH SUMMER, ALWAYS.
DOWNLOAD: Wilco, “I’m Always in Love”, from Summer Teeth
After a number of unexpected delays, summer is finally here in New York. The onset of summer in NYC is I think one of the single most overpowering sensations I’ve experienced, an oozing mess of orgiastic possibility of ideas, trips, games, rap music, car rides, and more. Everything and everything.
The seasonal counterpoint to Joanna Newsom’s forever winter, Wilco’s Summer Teeth is the sort of exhuberant day, crickets at night sunblast that for me has only ever been able to exist as warm weather tune-age. “I’m Always in Love” might not be the best song on the record, but it’s probably the most summery, and one of my faves.
Burn the warmth into my heart until it sears over the scars of winter.
