Ahh, crap. The second I wrote this, my good weather turns to slop. Oh well, I hope that by listening to these discs, the warm weather of yesterday will become the warm weather of today.

Listed below are M.O.O.S.E.’s Top 10 warm-weather discs to bump to while you are either tossing the Frisbee or scoping the scantily clad men and women who tend to show up in DeKalb every spring in Jeeps with Super Soakers. Here’s to hoping:

1) Weezer – “Weezer” (The Blue Album): Crank the volume to 11 and rock your socks off for this summer masterpiece. Metaphorical tunes about sweaters and carefree attitudes about surfing are perfect for summer activities. “Surfwax America” says it best: “My buddies and their homies all come along/ They seem invincible as they surf along/ The sea is rollin’ like a thousand-pound keg/ We’re goin’ surfin’/ We’re goin’ surfin’!”

2) AC/DC – “Back In Black”: My guitar instructor once told me that “Back In Black” is akin to having mind-blowing sex in the back of a pickup truck all while speeding around at about 100 mph on the expressway. Yeah, it’s kind of like that.

3) The Who – “Who’s Next?”: “Won’t Get Fooled Again” is great “catharsis music” for those open roads – built for sunroofs, ear-blasting stereos and the beauty of a new day.

4) Michael Jackson – “History”: It was a shame to see the media hack and slash at Jacko’s personal life when they are partly responsible for making him such a paranoid alien. Regardless of his personal life, Jackson knows (knew?) how to cut a sick album. Turn up the heat and dance!

5) “Monster Booty”: “Monster Booty” isn’t so much about the music as it is about getting that sweet, packaged bumper sticker for your car. Nothing says “class” like an “I BRAKE FOR MONSTER BOOTY” bumper sticker.

6) Blink-182 – “Dude Ranch”: My coworkers suggested Blink-182’s “Enema of The State” as one of the Top 10 warm-weather albums … but Blink-182’s “Dude Ranch” is a superior alternative. It’s perfect for those warm days of skirt-chasing, lamenting and tasteless genitalia and fart jokes.

7) Beck – “Odelay”: “Odelay” is a disc fluttering with distortion, pristine vocals and a killer rhythm harmonica. Beck knows where it’s at.

8) The Beatles – “Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band”: Where would my list be without The Beatles? In the crapper, that’s where. Don’t we all get by with a little help from our friends?

9) No Doubt – “Tragic Kingdom”: I had no say in picking a No Doubt CD for my warm-weather Top 10, but the women of the Northern Star have spoken, and they have won. Apparently, “Tragic Kingdom” opens and ends with a carnival sound. And that has something to do with, um, something else. Hooray for No Doubt and bad MTV rap videos. Not that there is any correlation between the two …

10) Bob Marley – “Legend”: Bob Marley, raised in the perpetually warm Jamaica, wrote some beautiful reggae. Marley’s career is proof that music can equal freedom, and isn’t freedom what warm weather is really about?
