Anthony Bourdain's Summer Playlist

KYUSS, Eagles of Death Metal, Them Crooked Vultures
2. Mark Lanegan Band (anything by him including “Screaming Trees”)

6. Iggy and the Stooges: "Penetration" from Raw Power

Matt Long's Summer Playlist

1. First on my list is a little known artist from Ft Myers, Florida by the name of John Corning. His song "It Was So Good in the Summertime" is on my short list. It combines Reggae, Caribbean and Latin sounds. I listen to this song and I'm sitting at the Tiki bar on a sparkling beach.
2. Jimi Hendrix: "Fire" (It's pure energy. I listen to it on my way to every pound-up. It's like a shot of adrenaline.)
3. Mungo Jerry: "In the Summertime"
4. Paul Simon: "Late in the Evening" (Most any time of the year but especially in the summer. He does the syncopated island beat better than anyone.)
5. Booker T and the MG's: "Green Onions"
6. Beach Boys: "Do It Again", "Don't Worry Baby" and "I Can Hear Music"
7. Truthfully, I write a lot of songs. I have at least two that are summery and I play them all the time.
