The World’s Greatest Online Magazine Presents The Summer Mix 2022

Well, at least the 2022 part was correct! Anyway, great job, everyone. Turned out real well. A lot of the songs were pretty heavy on minutes and seconds, so we couldn't get too deep into the weeds on 2nd and 3rd selections. Also, like a Supreme Court justice and porn, I don't know the exact time when a song becomes too long to include, but I can tell you that 15 minutes is probably a bit too long... We've got to keep these things somewhat trimmed.

Anyway, enjoy, everyone!
