Summer's Over: Back to the Beach!

Summer's over but very warm afternoons in Raleigh keep sending reminders of the long days now past us. I've compiled a play list of indie songs that bring to mind getting away or perhaps going on that last weekend beach getaway. -As always, most are not really about these things but have such things in the group's name or in the song title (this isn't a Jimmy Buffet playlist afterall -although there's nothing wrong with that).

War paint Undertow
Beach Fossils Face It
Smith Westerns Weekend
Surfer Blood Fast Jabroni
Beach House Silver Soul
The Libertines Don't Look Back Into the Sun

Summer's Over: Homesick for Summer Camp

Lil' Bean certainly enjoys her month at camp every summer and still misses it a month into her first year of high school. She told me it's her second home. She took these pictures at this wonderful camp this summer and I thought that they really capture the melancholy feeling of summer ending.
