First Sign Of Summer

Everyone I know is sick of winter, it's not just you. Here in Denver it's been an annoying stretch of cold and snow. I know mid-westerners are not feeling much pity, but the climate is part of the entire reason we moved here!

So over the last few days I was pleased to come across the first sign of warmer weather -- finally, some good dance music, the stuff that's meant for rolling down the windows, letting the wind blow through the car, and cranking the tunes. None of this cozy acoustic stuff. If you come across any more like these let me know, I miss the energy. Incidentally, XM radio has a great station for this stuff on Saturday nights, I've got to figure out how to receive it in the house...

Last summer I remember my favorite dance music was Turnin Me On (Keri Hilson), Boom Boom Pow (Black Eyed Peas), Beautiful (Akon) and Blame It (Jamie Foxx). I got a lot of walking done to those... here's the start of the new collection...

• Carry Out - Timbaland / JT
  
• Gangsta Luv - Snoop
• Live Your Life - T.I.

*Old age disclaimer -- these could have come out at any time and I'm just now discovering them, it takes a little longer for pop culture to reach me these days...
