In case you missed my appearance on All Things Considered this weekend—in which I discuss the calculus for determining summer songs, why we’re probably stuck with the Black Eyed Peas forever, and the awesomeness of Amerie—it’s streaming at the public-radio network’s Web site. (Bonus: The transcript, in which it is revealed that I said “you know” approximately 1,438 times during the segment, and in which my “songs coming out of car radios” metric for judging a summer song’s power is compared by a slightly overzealous commenter to condoning torture.)
