My Every Damn Day In June line-up wouldn’t be complete without Red Hot Chilli Peppers. This track is such a classic. And before you ask, yes I saw the RHCP live at V Festival in 2003 😉 Sometimes I feel like I don’t have a partnersometimes I feel like my …

I never really listened to The Cure much, growing up, but I stumbled across this track recently, and thought I’d add it to my summer play list for Every Damn Day In June, as it reminds me of adventures in the sun. I would so love to have some real …

As a science geek, I like the quirky song Chemistry by Semisonic. I also like the sexual imagery in this pop-rock track: Oh, all about chemistry,Won’t you show me everything you know,Ah, wonder what you do to me. Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh.Sometime later I met a young graduate,When I had nobody to …

She sips her lemoncelloAll dressed in gabardineIt’s gonna take a special fellowTo melt that icy queenSummer girlOh …

I really like the Goo Goo Dolls music. From when I first heard Iris, I loved Jonny Rzenik’s vocals. I got to see them live in 2006, I think it was, in London. It’s been years since I saw live music, and I miss it. Music is a tonic for …

This is the first year I have joined in with the Every Damn Day in June meme, hosted by Hyacinth from A Dissolute Life Means. I’m both excited and apprehensive about taking part. I generally find writing every damn day a challenge I fail to meet. In February I took …
