Stadium Arcadium

I like Stadium Arcadium. This double-album from the Red Hot Chili Peppers has been the unofficial sound of my past three summers, since it was released in 2006. With the recent wave of eighty and ninety degree days, its been difficult to NOT think about all the beauties of summertime. When the weather reverted back to sixty five and rainy on Wednesday, I wanted to keep my mind in the summertime, so I cranked up Stadium Arcadium in my iTunes and rocked out.

The two discs, titled "Mars" and "Jupiter", each hold the distinct honor of being complete albums, meaning I can listen to each from beginning to end without skipping a song. Most people know the singles from the radio like, "Dani California", "Tell Me Baby", and "Snow (Hey Oh)". And while I like those songs, it is the lesser-known tracks that really make Stadium Arcadium the award-winning rock album it is.

Below are a few of my favorites for you to enjoy as you kick-start your weekend. Here's hoping for more summer-like weather in the coming days!

"Wet Sand"



"Readymade"



"Animal Bar"
