TOPH’S POST
In another installment of our acclaimed "staff answers a single question" series this week, Toph has his mind on summer vibes:
What is one song from your HS days that make you think of summer?
Taylor - “The Best Deceptions,” by Dashboard Confessional
Kirk - “Dreams,” by Fleetwood Mac
Jameson - “Now That You’re Home,” by Manchester Orchestra
Toph - “Regulators,” by Warren G and Nate Dogg
Jeff - “I Turn to You,” by Melanie C.
Kieran - “That’s What you Get,” by Paramore
