Ideal Songs For Porch Drinking: Play The Hits

Karl Karlson7 years ago

New music is a great way to broaden your mental and spiritual horizons with minimal effort. It’s a wonder as pristine as a new romance, fresh sheets, or a cold beer in a hot shower. We love new music not only for what it is, but for the brave future it represents.

This week’s list is not about new or obscure music.

The hits are hits for a reason. Sure, in 1977, when “Needle and the Spoon” was getting thousands of spins a day across the globe, people were probably a little burned out on it. Now when it comes on, folks are sent back to a time and place where they heard it and remember the joy it brought them. The same can be said for “Girls, Girls, Girls” by MC, “One of These Nights” by The Eagles, or literally anything by George Strait. The hits weren’t just culturally important when they dropped; they were songs that would have a lasting effect on the people who heard them for decades to come.

When you’re sipping on something while sitting on your house’s porch this weekend, think about how — by listening to this playlist — you’re transcending time in a way that no mere mortal a century ago could. You are the now, working with the past to create a brighter tomorrow. Also, you have a little something on your chin, you sloppy fuck.
