We always seem to lose sight of this but the idea is that YOUR jam from this summer is something current (ie not an Iron Maiden song from 1986) and in the spirit of the summer. Maybe something you listened to on a car trip, vacation, or at the beach and hung with you and you have enjoyed during these summer months.

Previous Summers:
2023
2020

Bullshit, my summer jam will always be

I'm pretty sure I've told you this before, but I had a really super rad comp sci prof from Brazil that always used "bananarama" as a rando var instead of "x". :keke:

I was recommended a list of 80s Japanese citypop and I've just been listening to that for two damn months straight now. On the bus, on the subway, climbing a mountain, down by the river, walking the dog, all citypop all the time. Kill me Bobak.

If I had to pick only ONE summer jam of 2024, it would be カシミヤのほほえみ by Junko Yagami. I don't even know the English name, I had to copy it.

Runner up would be Nobody Does It Better by Carly Simon. Listened to that a lot in late July, early August as well.

City Pop is like the 80s British/ America Pop Music Equivalent it’s just one ear worm after another endless candy hooks.

When I think of that Carly Simon song I immediately think of 007. I’m actually listening to an Ian Fleming in Jamaica audiobook at the moment during my commute so that’s been my “Summer Jam” recently.
