Friday Music Day: Summer’s Coming? Summer’s Here 2014

By this time of year, I'm typically sweating what to put on the summer mix. My constraints are tighter than Philo's: all new music, hopefully with a clean version available or with the cussing not too prominent (I slipped in some $#!+ via Mikal Cronin's "Shout It Out" last year).

But this year, I'm not gonna stress it. If I don't get a summer mix made, I'm fine with it. I'll just listen to these two songs and the related album over and over if I want to.* I'll play the kids some instrumental dub or something.

*Does this mean I should check out Ke$ha?

I'll still listen to summer mix rec's though. What you got?

FMD 5-2-14: Lydia

It's been more than a week now, but I'm still thinking of that show.  
She needs to get a guitar that stays tuned or something. There was so much momentum-draining dead time between some songs.
Maybe other venues have spoiled me, but the sound seemed really muddy.
She's a great performer with great songs, and that was a really good show. I don't mean to be so harsh, but it could have easily been so much better for me.
