Only after dark

It is time, my friends, to toast the summer.
You may say that it needs no further toasting - summer is toasty and toasted and so let us prepare for whatever hellish season Mother Nature chooses to inflict next. I say 'nay'.

Think of the summer toasting songs (in your head)... they're all like beach songs, or picnic songs or summer love songs, right?

Are any of the summery songs in your brains toasting the end of that last party of the summer where you went camping and someone brought an enormous amount of beer? The part where the fire was pretty much burnt out to ashes and the smell of September is in the air but everyone is denying it by wearing not-quite-enough-to-stay-warm? The part of that party where if you were going to puke or fight or pull you'd have done it already so you're probably out of luck and then Paso Mino comes walking out of the woods just out of sight playing something like this?

As perfect as a wizard riding a unicorn on a rainbow, that song has everything the end of summer is about.

BONUS: I love the shit out of CityTV. Not only do they play some messed up movies, they don't censor them! The result: I get reminded of how great From Dusk Til Dawn is and you sweet vampirebat-lovers get the bonus Tito & Tarantula track. This one is from the scene where Salma Hayek is pouring whisky down her leg into Quentin Tarantino's soon-to-be-vampirey face.
