Animal Beach Party! Littorally.

Facing both an oil spill and Oprah's narrating on Discovery Channel (anyone?), life on the Gulf has been moving shoreward--to throw a party? Just in case, here's some active sonar to blast down, from the uninvited:

Drop

MC Shakie's Drop Real Low

Lots of Small Fires

In the car or on a bike, after playing with fireworks, I might listen to songs like these to chill out in the summer time.

BOBBY JEAN

This song almost always makes me want to cry.
