Tom Petty’s first solo record, Full Moon Fever, came out in April 1989. Not technically a summer song, but I connect it with a great summer memory and can’t hear the song without remembering that time.
After the grunge hangover of the previous three years, this piece of pop satisfied an itch that I didn’t even realize I had, the first of many nicely crafted songs from this former school teacher.Įric Bright – Director of Radio Operations & Host This one always reminds me of the summer of 1994. MGMT’s album Oracular Spectacular accompanied me on many summer road trips, and this song in particular is a great one to drive to with the windows rolled down on a sunny day.īrad Dolbeer – Assistant Program Director & Host The vibe is so cool and laid back, yet energizing and uplifting at the same time. This song is partly about the vibe and partly about the nostalgia for me.
Erika Amy Miller – Program Director & Host We initially shared this list on our Instagram (follow us, we share cool things there, too!) but we wanted give our DJs the space to expand on what inspired their picks. That’s why we’ve asked KXT DJs to select one song that feels like summer to them. Blame my excess consumption of coming-of-age media, but something about the season makes me nostalgic for my childhood, gives me a desire to live in the moment but also makes optimistic about what’s to come ahead.Īll that to say, summer can be more than just a temperature change. Despite summer break not being commonplace after high school, I find myself looking forward to summer.
