Dave Navarro of Jane's Addiction and formerly the Red Hot Chili Peppers brings you ten great songs for a summer filled with lots of sun and sex.

 

1. Girl in a Coma
“Say”
“Nina, the singer in the Texas power pop trio, has a unique voice, and this track is hooky and unusual without shoving its quirkiness down your throat.”

2. Echoes de Luxe
“The Price of Love”
“They’re a local L.A. band who make roll-to-the-beach, buy-the-groceries music sound sexy. I do neither of those things.”

3. Nine Inch Nails
“1,000,000”
“Great for a gritty summer sex scene at a fleabag 
motel. (Note to self: Call Trent re: rights to use this 
in my next adult feature.)”

4. J. Mello
“Oxy Cotton”
“Great upbeat song and a dynamic cautionary tale.”

5. Sing Orpheus
“Hypnotic”
“This L.A. band reminds me of a night out on the town in Hollywood, where, despite your best efforts, you end up having fun.”

6. Slipknot
“Opium of the People”
“A great song for those long summer days when you’re unable to avoid the sun.”

7. Gravenhurst
“Black Holes in 
the Sand”
“There’s still time for depression during 
the summer.”

8. SLANG CHICKENS
“Tropics”
“This song kind of reminds me of a summer pool party 
in 1994 at the Phoenix 
Hotel in San Fran with a bunch of strippers…not 
that I have ever been to anything like that.”

9. J. Mello
“U Outta Know”
“Billy Joel does make for a great mash-up! Who knew?”

10. Betty Davis
“He Was a Big Freak”
“It’s three o’clock in the morning, and you have 
just realized that you don’t know any of these people 
in your house.”
