Dizzy Heights #61: “Summer” Songs

I’m going to take a small break from the word-themed shows, but before I do so, I thought, Let’s say goodbye to summer with a show filled with songs about summer.

This started out as a much different show, but once I spotted the alt and alt-adjacent vibe pulsing through it, I took out several well-known acts that no longer fit in. (It also stopped me from adding a brand-new Taylor Swift song at the last minute.) The Kinks, America, Springsteen, and yes, even Seals & Crofts, gone. Was that the right call? That is for you to decide, dear listener, but opening with the Barracudas and the Undertones? I regret nothing.

Thank you, as always, for listening.
