Why do we like this?

In the Northern Hemisphere we're drawing awfully close to the end of summer. But, the weather is friggin' amazing, and this song is getting me totally amped for a 3-day weekend.

Modest Mouse's "Float On" could possibly be considered a "classic" at this point, released almost a decade ago on Good News For People Who Love Bad News. Yeah, it's hard to believe that it was so long again.

The feel-good summer vibe wasn't an accident. According to Isaac Brock:

It was a completely conscious thing. I was just kind of fed up with how bad shit had been going, and how dark everything was, with bad news coming from everywhere. Our president [George W. Bush] is just a fucking daily dose of bad news! Then you've got the well-intentioned scientists telling us that everything is fucked. I just want to feel good for a day.

So on that note, I hope you're enjoying your day!
