Pop Rocks!: Episode 2.1: SUMMER'S HERE KIDS!

That's right, this weeks show was strictly designed to usher in the new, wonderful, sunshiney weather that this show is all about, and to celebrate, I carted out all my summer songs! Or at least my favorites. This post will be intensely short, seeing how the summer school version of Film Theory and Criticism: 1960-Present is completely consuming me at the moment. However, I still have enough time to put together a hopefully kickin' show each week. But here! Here are my summer songs!
