Allah Lahs “Long Journey”

I'm not going to lie. Dallas is playing Oakland right now and it's a pretty killer game.

I also have to get up for work pretty early.

Sooooo, here's one of my favorite Allah Lah's songs from their self-titled album. I remember listening to it while checking out the Tucson, Arizona mountains as the sun was setting. My buddy and co-worker Andrew and I drove around the mountain and blasted this song.

 This music is made for traveling.

Also, they are great live.

Jr. Walker & the All Stars "Shotgun"

Sometimes the old jams just can't be beat. When they come on I just can't help but dance along and be in a good mood. This one from Jr. Walker and the All Stars is one of my favorites. I first heard this song in the Circa Shoes skate video, " It's Time ".  It was Adrien Lopez's song for his part. I was immediately stoked on the song and had to get it however I could. 10 years later and it still remains on playlists that I create. In fact, in that same video is a song by Sam and Dave called "Hold On" in Windsor James' part ; another great old classic jam.  From that loud shotgun sound (which is supposedly an amp being kicked) and the moment that dirty saxophone hits you know it's a groover. "Shotgun" is actually a dance and it's hard not to be compelled to dance to this thing.

Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band “Night Moves”

Everyone’s got em. The summer jams. You know those songs you reserve until the heat settles in and the sun is is out? The ones that encapsulate everything about summer. What is it about those songs that fit the mold? What makes those songs worthy of our commutes from work or our road-trip soundtracks? Though they are different for everyone, they all seem to share the same qualities: up-beat and positive. They evoke happiness, fun, and peace.  Now, this is by no means the “formula” for good “summer songs”. But from my interactions with others they normally mention songs that have one or more of those qualities. Perhaps you have music that reminds you of past summers or experiences during that time of the year. Are they happy? Do they have those same qualities? Maybe some of you  have summer songs that aren’t happy. There are no rules for these things. That’s the beauty of music. Whatever it is that makes songs “summer songs” , one this is for sure; it’s all complete...

Leisure Birds “Burn the Beach”

Got another beachy vibe for ya. As I’ve stated before I’m a huge fan of surf rock jammers. This is up there with some of my favorite. It’s the only song I have ever heard from the band and I don’t know much about them. I found this song on a sampler/compilation mixtape back in the mid 2000’s and it has remained on my playlists ever since. It’s a quick and fast dancy sort of song that makes you feel like running through sand dunes and basking in the sun. Pretty fun groove. I always told myself I would use it as a skate video song if I ever had a part. Hopefully someday that could happen. We’ll see! Unfortunately I was unable to find the song on YouTube. But here is the Spotify link...it's also available on Apple Music. https://open.spotify.com/track/3hBvyfNLlczMIj8DC5uaBc
