Happy New Year, yadda yadda.

Its summertime at the moment so I want to talk about songs that I like to play around this time. 

So lets start with one of the undisputed summer anthems. 
Sure it may now be associated with the films of Quintin Tarantino and it's context may be associated with 'being a badass' but lets not forget this was, and still is, a surfing anthem. And it still rocks hard years later.
