This month’s theme song comes courtesy of Sourpatch, a queer-positive, feminist quartet based in San Jose, California.
The song is called “Fishin.’” Please enjoy! (Note: for some reason, Google Chrome users are getting an error message. Until the issue is fixed, we suggest either downloading or using the media player in Firefox.)
If you want to submit a Rookie theme song by you or your band, please write to us at submissions@rookiemag.com.
Hello, you. June’s theme will be LONGING. Unlike more-acute forms of desire like desperation or need, longing is a sweet ache—more pining for something than dying for it. It’s nostalgia, homesickness, boredom, a persistent feeling of lack, dreaming of escape/the future. It’s summer: summer homes & cottages, stuffy summer bedrooms, sun-bleached memories of summers past. The shadow of September that hangs over June. It’s secret hangouts, crushes, unrequited love. Send what you’ve got here, and thanks. ♥

Log in to replyHey!
Log in to replyThe link won’t let me download… nothing pops up when I press the control key. Any ideas?
Are you using Firefox?
Log in to replyYup! And I tried safari. Maybe my other music is just jealous that I may have found a new favorite song?
Log in to replyHmm, I want to send you the mp3 for all your effort! Since we’re having a few problems with this on certain browsers, maybe that’s why, so please check back in as we’re hoping to resolve the issue soon. I apologize!
I love this band, they have a bunch of great songs like Cynthia Ann, Deli Dream and I Want You Either Way. And they’re so nice people :)
(the song plays fine for me too, I’m using safari)
Log in to replyHi, I tried by clicking the link to open in a new tab. (Google Chrome) Once there the song only should be on the screen. Right click anywhere on the screen and click save as. It should download.
