March 11, 2023: The Tim Version
I forget who nominated it for the Summer Mix (dw?), but I was so happy to learn about the Tim version of "Can't Hardly Wait" (which ended up being the closer (great mix that year)). It's so much better than the official release. It has so much more desperation, longing, and edge than the slick, produced version. Love it.
