Summer, and a young woman’s thoughts turn to McFlurrys, finding a vest top that doesn’t make me look like I have a monoboob, and tracking the vintage Diane von Furstenberg dress I bought on eBay two weeks ago which has not yet arrived.

Songs stuck in my head

$1000 wedding – Mekons (think this was Gram Parsons first, but I like their version. Plus, it’s the only one I’ve heard.)

Why can’t I touch it? – Buzzcocks. Love this song. Why? Am I full of yearning?

Alone again or – Love. Calexico did a great cover of this last night. They have the horns and stuff to do it justice.

Vague snippets of Lambchop songs. All that slidey guitar is perfect for hot nights like these.
