Maybe you’re like me. You have a song, or band, or album that really defined your summer of 2004. For me, that album would be Spoon‘s “Kill the Moonlight.”
I was really late coming into the Spoon game. I didn’t know anything about the band until this year, jumping on the bandwagon long after everyone else. But that’s okay. Since then I’ve grown to love the band, seeing them live once and starting to collect their entire back catalog.
This summer I spent countless hours replaying Kill the Moonlight at work, in the car, at home, wherever. The album came with us when we were vacationing in San Francisco, it came with us to New York City and NJ. It was everywhere. It’s such an amazing record, I hope you own it, too. In fact, Time Magazine just declared Spoon “your new favorite band”.
But that’s my summer record. What about you? Was there one band that you played nonstop althrough the warm summer months? Was Beyonce’s “Crazy In Love” the song you played to death? I want to know. Please, share us your pick in the message board.
