ENDLESS SUMMER

Posted up at the Northern most main stage at Lollapalooza early last month, temperatures soared as high as they have all summer. With the heat index crossing into the nineties, myself, along with a handful of friends slowly soaked through our ironic t-shirts—mine, a Pump n’ Munch shirt from Pine City Minnesota—as Yeasayer did its damnedest to maintain sanity and remember song lyrics as a relentless sun beat down upon the band. We all collectively sweltered, but no one seemed to care. It was the thick of the dog days of summer, music was playing throughout Chicago’s Grant Park and the weekend shaped up to be one that will be difficult to forget.

To those that have never spent a summer in our fair, Midwest Windy City, it’s a special experience. The same time last year I was running around Herdfordshire in the Great British north at a music festival called Big Chill. I had such a mind blowing time so far from home that I thought it would surely become a yearly ritual, my own annual blighty holiday. The situation being what it was, my ritual ended after a paltry single year. Not much of a tradition at all I’m afraid. I’m not losing any sleep over the matter though. My staycation proved to be every bit as fulfilling as any exotic travels I might have done.

Sparing you any sort of lengthy travel diary of my exploits these past three months, I much prefer to simply highlight a few of the finest moments and attempt to pair them with song from our latest Dialogue Incorporated podcast So with that, let the highlighting, music and conversation begin…
