Welcome to My Music Mondays, the basic premise is that each week I will be delving into my music collection and looking at it somewhat randomly. This week I’m going to look at some of my favorite Summer related music.

Summer may not officially be here but after five straight days of over 90 degrees, I think most people in Philly will agree its summer time (as much as I hate to admit that, winter FTW). With that said I thought it time to look at some of my favorite summer related music, you know the kind you listen to when it is 100 degrees outside and you have to stand next to a flaming grill making barbeque chicken for all the assholes you call friends while drinking warm beer. Yeah, that music.
