Bringing Back Summers Past

Over at the L Mag, they're feeling nostalgic. Even I have been sucked into thinking about the past. So, I've decided to do some bringin' it back a la Pomp & Circumstance. Starting with the video that kicked off the summer of '08, before quickly disappearing (but definitely not before starting some Royal Oak style rooftop foot stomping), sorta like this year's (more lo-fi) tribute to a tribute. Thing is, it's still relevant, especially for those of you that are getting out of the city this weekend... Unlike those other summer kick off princes, MGMT.

Check out some been there, done thats that are oh-so-last summer after the jump.

Hipsters at the Beach
Let's not let this happen again this summer. Can we all promise each other that beaches are for bathing suits? Thanks.

The Wackness
The movie that we loved to hate, or hated to love... I can't remember which. As a NYC kid, I can say that most of my high school summers unfolded like this. I even have a friend who was very much like the Mary Kate character. Which brings us to...

Mushrooms
Is it me, or is everyone talking about these right now?

Had to include this horrifying coming of age flick, since it's basically The Wackness, just a million times more scary. SO when you're off getting some this summer, remember to wrap it up.

I blame these guys for the whole nouveau American Indian chic movement.
