What Is Your Top Summer Jam Of '08 Candidate? [Somethin 4 The Weekend]
idolator.com 5/28/2008 — Happy Memorial Day weekend! To celebrate, I am going to put up my away message and read Madame Bovary on my back porch. (Who says I don't know how to party?) But before I go, I want to ask a question that sorta pertains to this weekend's status as ...

Idolator's 2008 Summer Jam Tournament Gets A Bit Hands-On [Idolator's 2008 Summer Jam Tournament] — Idolator: Music News, Reviews, And Gossip
Our quest for the No. 1 song of summer 2008 continues today with a face-off between two songs that seem to have been expressly designed for maximum June-September listening, Kid Rock's Warren Zevon homage "All Summer Long" and Tyga's Harry Nilsson-inspired "Coconut Juice." The clips, the defenses, and the all-important poll after the jump.

Kid Rock, "All Summer Long" [Idolator's 2008 Summer Jam Tournament] — Idolator: Music News, Reviews, And Gossip
I've bitched about this song and will continue to bitch, but I have to grudgingly admire anything that takes the License To Ill obvious sample pile-up aesthetic and updates it for deadbeat dads with beer guts. Plus, that "Werewolves Of London" backdrop is a hell of a lot more enjoyable than anything Kid Rock's done in years. Shameless pandering of this scope takes balls and, these days, a ...
Tyga, "Coconut Juice" [Idolator's 2008 Summer Jam Tournament] — Idolator: Music News, Reviews, And Gossip
Harry Nilsson as beyond-the-grave hook man? Well, I guess weirder things have happened. Tyga's "Coconut Juice" sounds like the overcrowded pool party on the outskirts of Los Angeles depicted in its video, a big cacophonous mess (in a not-bad way!) of hand claps and "ay-yay-yay" breaks over a beat that's been Dopplerized in anticipation of it floating and bending out of arriving and ...
Alphabeat, "Fascination" [Idolator's 2008 Summer Jam Tournament] — Idolator: Music News, Reviews, And Gossip
When I wrote about so-called Wonky Pop movement and its brightest prospect, the big, goofy Danish band Alphabeat, I said of my summer-jam nominee "...it hits you like a load of laundry just out of the dryer...You get the feeling that "Fascination" should be playing on a radio in a suburban garage as someone washes a car on a Saturday afternoon." It seems I had preemptively prepared a ...
Brooks & Dunn, "Put A Girl In It" [Idolator's 2008 Summer Jam Tournament] — Idolator: Music News, Reviews, And Gossip
I generally assume that the biggest song of the summer—or, at very least, the one I'm going to remember—will come from the playlists of R&B;/hip-hop stations. However, something about "Put A Girl In It" by Brooks & Dunn just screams out hanging out on the lake with a cooler full of beer. The duo capture the spirit of early Beach Boys tracks—songs about girls, fun, and not ...
Def Jam’s 2008 Summer Schedule — The Rap Up

Now that it's warm out and I can run around my backyard barefoot, it's time to figure out just what, exactly, will be the jam of the coming summer, the song that will become inescapable through sheer will. And what better way to do it via bracketed tournament, what with the current run of major sports tournaments? (Those of you who think it's too soon to start calling these sorts of things ...
