Chhhanges..Mix of May:It's Summertime!!!

As this summer marks the one year anniversary for Drawing From Music, the daily blog will be taking a break for the summer months. I have recently had the opportunity to begin contributing work to the music site, Indie Rock Reviews based out of Seattle,WA; which you will see a bigger presence of my contributions in these upcoming months as we finalize our plans for festival coverage. I will also be doing some work with Chicago's local edition of The A.V. Club. Never fear though, Drawing From Music isn't going anywhere, this summer is the perfect time to make some changes to the site's format and return to my original concept of focusing on the discourse between visual art and music. To hold you over while these transitions occur, I put together a nice summer mix of songs that exude the sunniness of the summer months while touching upon the emotional duress that unfortunately makes it's presence known. Regardless where I'm writing you can follow me on twitter @drawingfromusic; I hope everyone enjoys their summer...I guarantee you will enjoy what's to come. Enjoy the music...
