It may be worth reiterating that the summer mixes are meant as something to play when no one's really listening too closely. A backyard get-together, drinks poured, some good talk, and, in the background, a playlist that matches the mood and (maybe) pleases a variety of tastes. That's not to say these songs don't warrant closer inspection, of course - just that there's no grand theme binding them together. It's all about mood. And the mood is summer.
Y'know, now that I think of it, that's probably a mood entirely peculiar to myself. Goddammit, that just sent a pall over my backyard get-together. Oh well. Have you heard the new Fergie single? Did you know there's a Nicke1back greatest hits album? Yeah. So, uh...mood schmood. Shit could be a LOT worse.

Happy summer Roy! Thanks for turning me on to Teenage Frames, and reminding me about Wet Willy - I remember that song, but had completely forgotten about the band. They weren't bad, were they?
I remember hearing "Keep On Smiling" as a kid, and thinking it was an obscure track by the Rolling Stones. I ended up buying a Wet Willie album years later ("The Wetter The Better") and was pretty disappointed that, instead of the Stones, by then they sounded like a fairly slick R&B/soul/verging-on-disco band. They were good at it though.
This link is also down. Would like it to complete the collection.
