Nobody knows this song, but you should. She’s from my hometown of Sioux City, Iowa.

Ione - “Why Anna?”

Blondshell was a great find and my summer song is the first cut on the album — Veronica Mars

It is perhaps beginning to dawn on people in the "culture industry" that 15 seconds of pure-High Fructose Corn Syrup -hook is not enough to hang an entire fad upon.

Some of my most frequently played tracks of the summer have been:

Right Thing by Bayonne (https://open.spotify.com/track/5WSbA7CYliGAJiZTRldTMK?si=3MK5mnnVSNeOszgl1AK6nQ)

The Big Mess by Tanlines (https://open.spotify.com/track/4IHPXmWuuBzVdMOhhY9lYS?si=xhu7XunoRQGUkcYc2Msvyw)

and The Clown by Mega Bog (https://open.spotify.com/track/1YNzfTqQVnQt1wUTTEvyuh?si=4oFnZXVWSEW6IakNaSta0A)

Whether any of those would be considered “summer songs” is another matter entirely, but they’re songs (and albums) that were on heavy rotation for me over the summer.
