Soon summer will pass the torch to autumn, leaves will deceive nature by coming alive as they die and people will plan holidays, take out sweaters and coats and harvest the last crops before winter ushers in its long chilly nights.
But let’s not say goodbye to summer too fast; it’s still with us, and in that spirit, Indie Rock Cafe kicks off it’s PlayThis! MP3 Playlist Series. The first installment is, you guessed it, songs about summer.
