Summer in australia brings with it an entire different lifestyle to the rest of the year. Everything slows down, plants get greener, Dogs get dirtier, the esky gets a workout as weights, chair and cooler of the all important beer. The air gets fresher, it smells different. and everyone is on the same wavelength. shorts and a T-shirt are the national uniform, with all but the imports choosing different. We all flock to the water, family and dog in tow. Driving becomes pure pleasure as the tarmac is dry, warm and grippy. Only those with a real chip on their shoulder find it hard to smile and say G'day to everyone and everything that moves at the local areas. Young families are sharing their holidays together at beaches around the nation, teenages are casting off the shackles set during school and having a ball being independant.
Summer really does bring a palpable change, and as such my music tastes have differed from more heavy rock music. The music going through my summer reads abit like this. The cat empire, Jack johnson, The beautiful girls, and john buttler trio. mix in a few upbeat dance songs, a sprinkle of rock (a la Foo fighters) - and a twist of R'n'B from hilltop hoods, and a zest of pop, and youve got yourself one seriously upbeat summer whiteballz.
