Oh dear.

Whatever, I'm having a great summer.

I don't really have a summer soundtrack, but to me, Weezer's music just screams summer and having fun and stuff. Beverly Hills and Island in the Sun in particular get a lot of play when it's warm outside.

As far as bringing back memories, bands like Blink 182, New Found Glory etc bring back a lot of nostalgia for me, from my middle school days. Bands that generally remind me of summer are the Bouncing Souls, Sublime, and Audioslave

Fridge's album ''Happiness'' has pretty much taken over as my summer CD. Sounds like a bunch of elves and hippies in a forest clearing, which is exactly where my head is at now. A bit worrying.

Ironically, the only youtube video featuring my favourite track is one of a skiing trip.
