Tunes Du Jour Celebrates National Water Quality Month

by with No Comment Uncategorized

August is National Water Quality Month, founded in 2005 by the Environmental Protection Agency. Per their official website, “National Water Quality Month is dedicated to making the most of the relatively small amount of fresh water we have, because having clean water is vital to our individual health, our collective agricultural needs, and the needs of our environment.”

To aid in your celebrations, below is a playlist of 30 quality songs that have the word “water” somewhere in the title.

In late 2002 I had credit card points that were about to expire so I ordered a bunch of CDs by artists whose music I had not heard, which included Lifted or The Story Is in the Soil, Keep Your Ear to the Ground by Bright Eyes, which turned out to be a good choice. The album’s title is a reference to a quote by William S. Burroughs: “The story is in the soil, lift it up, anything can happen.”

Bright Eyes’ Conor Oberst was born on this date in 1980. Lots of tunes from Conor are included on today’s playlist.
