Especially during the fall.<\/p>\n<p>When I lived in New England, for example, the seasons served as cue as to what I be drinking for the next several months. When summer came to Boston I would begin drinking rum and cokes or gin and tonics. They were light and effervescent. Just the sort of thing to keep you cool during the hot and humid summer months. When fall crept in I would switch over to Guinness, whiskey and scotch. They were comfort drinks to get you through the endless winter months.<\/p>\n<p>In San Diego I lack those clues. On, there is a change in the seasons but it\u2019s subtle and to my New England blood it might as well be spring all year round. So what to drink?<\/p>\n<p>I also have a similar problem with music. In the spring and summer it makes perfect sense to listen to The Ramones but once fall kicks in The Ramones seem kind of dumb. In the winter months I can listen for hours on end to someone like Nick Drake but in the summer Nick Drake seems kind of melodramatic. Bit if it\u2019s perpetually spring, what the hell do you listen to?<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t have that problem with the music from <a title=\"!K7 Records web site\" href=\"http:\/\/www.k7.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">!K7 Records<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The driving music of, say, <a title=\"The Herbaliser iTunes page\" href=\"http:\/\/phobos.apple.com\/WebObjects\/MZStore.woa\/wa\/viewAlbum?id=279232213&amp;s=143441\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Herbaliser<\/a> is perfect for sunny days by the beach and I can wind down with their moodier songs in the evening. I find that almost all of the music !K7 Records can be played regardless of the season.
