Muhly seems to have become the "serious composer" collaborator of choice for pop musicians: Stevens, Dessner, Glen Hansard, Bjork, Joanna Newsom, Bonny Prince Billy, Usher, Grizzly Bear, etc.

Gotta say, there are so many summer songs, I bet we could all do 10 more that we like and still not duplicate songs! (And if we added those we don't like, we could go on all week.)

Further proof that summer is the greatest season.
Although, if I were an aspiring songwriter I'd get on writing some songs about fall to take advantage of the very vocal fall loyalists on the social medias. I'm actually a little surprised that hasn't happened.

I'm only half joking. Seriously, how has nobody done this yet? There's a clear market out there.
