A literally quite good summer mixtape for your listening pleasure

Monday was the first day of summer and, as if by magic, the sun finally, begrudgingly came out to warm our lawns and burn our noses.

We all know that music sounds better in the sun. There's no scientific explanation for that. It's just true.

So it's a happy coincidence that the solstice was also the day where everyone who signed up for the Summer Burn mixtape swap-shop had to send off their CDs [see here for more details].

My compilation should have arrived with its recipients now, so I thought I'd share the mix with everyone who reads the blog, too.

If you're a regular visitor, you've probably heard most of these songs before, but not in this order, not mixed together "seamlessly" by an amateur... and not with clips from Sesame Street in the middle of them for no apparent reason. It goes a little something like this.
