It isn't like it used to be, when you heard great music on the radio during the drive to the lake -- and then that song became emblematic of the day or the whole summer and then just hearing it again made you lighter. I think the music that makes you feel like that is still out there, it's just so much harder to concentrate on it or find the time for it, or sometimes just to recognize it when you hear it.
Anyway, that's why it's such a happy thing that someone points that stuff out.
Songs for a Drab and Unfulfilling Existence is a great article by one of the staffers at NPR.org, and the first couple of songs it links sound like the first weekend of the summer.
Kind of nice on a fall day.
(Here's a sample, if you don't want to follow the links. Just click.)
I recommend NPR's page: Discover Songs. Not everything's a home run, but you'll find things you might not have found otherwise.
