My British Soundtrack For Summer 2008

Here in the UK, the summer is at its peak, which as anyone who has ever visited Britain would know means lots of rain with the occasional sunny spell in between. But regardless of the weather outside, music has the ability to lift our spirits and at least make us feel like it’s fine outside.
Some of the blogs on the b5 Music Channel have put together their soundtracks for the summer, and here is mine. There are only five songs, but they are all very recent and all have one one thing in common: they cheered me up when I didn’t really feel as though it were summer.
The Ting Tings - Shut Up And Let Me Go
Mint Royale - Singin’ In The Rain
The Verve - Love Is Noise
Dizzee Rascal & Calvin Harris - Dance Wiv Me
Coldplay - Viva La Vida
These five songs are all ones I could listen to time and time again, and all have great videos to accompany them as well. Now it’s your turn: let me know what songs have punctuated your summer this year. I also don’t mind hearing you ridicule my choices as we’re all entitled to an opinion. Although, mine is always right!
