When the summer nights start smelling of barbecues, tree #jizz and dodgy mopeds, this is the song for me:
#themodernlovers #jonathanrichman #thatsummerfeeling #jizz
Last night, after #Derby #EMOM, driving home on a warm, first-day-of summer's night, blasting out 'Roadrunner,' I felt a huge sense of stillness.
I love those pure nights when you can hear pulsars whistling like Catherine Wheels.
