The bikes are out, beers on patios are now nightly staples, and it's like 10 billion degrees outside, which are basically the 3 things necessary for me to officially declare it summer (take that, summer solstice). And in honor of said declaration, here are 12 songs for this summer of 2012. Half of them are super obvious and/or somewhat embarrassing (oh c'mon, like you don't have Justin Bieber or The Wanted secretly stored somewhere in your iPod), but at least didn't go so far as to include Carly Rae Jepsen (can something be the song of your spring and summer??).
Take em or leave em, the 12 songs most likely to provide the soundtrack to my summer, in order of likelihood to become my personal song of THE summer:
1. Icona Pop - "I Love It"
2. Santigold - "The Keepers"
3. Calvin Harris - "Feel So Close"
4. Passion Pit - "Take a Walk"

My constant need to check thestar.ca has begun to feel akin to a uh, crack addiction.

Ahh yes! The beginning of "Take a Walk" is just awesome. "Feel So Close" might be a little too old; "Let's Go" by the same guy might be his summer song. Justin Bieber, One Direction, and the like are to be expected.
