Summer’s almost here and if there’s anything Vickdang loves more than summer slams, its summer jams! Right about now you’re probably illegally downloading the hottest, freshest tunes off of Kazaa Lite Beta 1.2, burning them onto a CD-ROM diskette and planning to jam them into your Mom’s boombox all summer long.  Well, close out your Napster right now because I’ve got the aural journey of the summer mapped out for you right here. You don’t need Hypemachine, Pitchfork or Salacious Sounds to tell you what’s cool. Just leave it up to ol’ Vickdang to jam these hot tunes into your Mom’s boombox!

First up: “Just Say Yes” by Mcrorie!

Video Link: Just Say Yes! by Mcrorie

Zen Buddhists know the sound of “one hand clapping”, but do they know the sound of “one man slapping all instruments onto his body and kind of playing them?”.  Welcome to the world of Mcrorie!  There are no words to express the sheer awesomeness that is Mcrorie’s “Just Say Yes!”.  But if I were to try, I’d say it’s like listening to an inspirational speaker from the 80′s, demonically squeal incoherent advice into a tin can.  Feast your ears, you will never hear something like this again!

Next up: “America, We Stand As One” by  Dennis Madalone

U! S! A!  If this song doesn’t have you praising the roof, I don’t know what will!  My all-time favorite moment of this blessed video is the moment when it concludes.

Finally: A clip from a mashup I’ve been working on for 4 years, “Hopelessly Mortal” ( Olivia Newton John vs. Goro Remix). Is it just me, or does “Summer Lovin” pop into your head every time Scorpion dies.

Enjoy the summer and be sure to jam these into your Dad’s mailbox!
