Something's Gone Wrong Again
I feel you left out a critical one, in deference to the author's of your blog's title--Celebrated Summer, Husker Du. Although, certainly, an obvious choice.
Upstate NY? Where? Lets hang out and trade records! Oh, and I'd add Unnatural Axe's "Summertime" to the list. Or the Splash Four's cover of it, which is actually better.
Have you considered this invention I heard about called "swimming pools"?
Courtney... it was the first song I thought of, but somehow it was lost in the shuffle. This is a live version from 1987:

Rich... I'm in Syracuse. If I ever get off my leash I'll have to head up to Buffalo for some shows. Here's The Unnatural Axe song:
Unnatural Axe - Summertime.mp3
And you are correct, the Splash 4 version is better. Rougher and tougher sounding:
Splash 4 - Summertime.mp3
And Jim, swimming pools? What are you, some kind of millionaire?!??
Swimming pools should be common, right? Well...I guess maybe not in New York. But listening to these seems a little unnatural when it's still cloudy outside (in California. Doesn't that just seems wrong?).
I don't trust those community pools Laura but Eric should teach his kids the fine art of scamming yourself into a hotel pool. But then again there's always the Summer Sun Splash pools (http://shop.store.yahoo.com/backyardcity/

You know, my wife wants me to get one of those cheapo pools. The only problem is that town we live in (where we pay a shitload of taxes w/o a community pool) requires such a pool have electrician installed conduit and a fence around it. Not worth it.
I've always maintained that given the small "pool window" (2-3 months at most) in CNY that I will never have one put in. I will however work my ass off to become friends with someone that does have a pool. All of the enjoyment with none of the responsibility.
Best Archers song on that CD.
