My bed is a pool and the wall's on fire

In those long summer days (and nights) the lyrics from Animal Collective come to my mind: "my bed is a pool and the wall's on fire". I have to study for my October exams, but I don't really feel like studying in this heat... I rather spend the morning in my swimming pool with the sunglasses on (like Ben Braddock after graduating).
I've been listening to a lot of new music lately, and I've also had time to watch a few new films with my boyfriend, and the one we've liked the most is
Submarine (totally recommended). Besides from that, I've just discovered a pretty interesting new photographer Ildar Iksanov, I'm loving Discotheque Confusion more and more everyday, it's my fashion's daily read; and these are the songs I can't get out of my head these days:

Miami Horror - Under the Milky Way

Alex Turner's OST for the film Submarine

Animal Collective - Summertime Clothes

Is Tropical - South Pacific

Zabriskie Point (1970)

Weird film from Antonioni set in the late 1960s counterculture.The first half of the film has the vibe of a documentary about the strikes and riots in L.A for the civil rights and against the Vietnam war, and the second half feels more like a road trip with amazing images of Zabriskie Point on the Death Valley.
It was a commercial failure and critics labeled it as a boring and empty movie. I have to admit is not the best thing Antonioni has made, but it's interesting to watch it because of its photography (totally stunning), the soundtrack, and this scene, which is one of the most beautiful scenes ever filmed... like a surrealist painting in motion:
