It feels like summer today. The unrelenting sunshine makes me heady to the point of swooning and I get lost in future plans: bratwursts and cold ones, sunbathing on spare slabs of concrete while eating food from trucks, sweating while guzzling lukewarm smoothies, rollerskating in the park. It’s hard to concentrate on this computer monitor and sit in this office knowing I have at least 6 more hours here. I need a soundtrack that can whisk me off in sultry-summer style to boardwalks and carnivals, street fairs and late night roof parties and makes me forget that I am sequestered in this air-conditioned hellhole for a seeming eternity. I think this might do the trick. “Catch Me (I’m Falling) gets it all right. It’s freestyle at its best but with a few extras: Jade Starling’s outrageously emotive vocal (she emphasizes each and every word with dreamy surrender) and that grinding guitar breakdown just takes it over the top. Some might associate this song with Jon Cryer on skates. But I just think of it is a timeless jam that goes with summer like ocean with sand, sandals with shorts, hot sauce with anything…
