It really wouldn't have been a WGOM mix without a little bit o' Mitski.
I'd heard plenty about Mr. Lamar's new album, but had never really heard it. This track quickly shot up to top 3 of this mix for me.

A known quantity around here, but we'll go ahead and indulge anyway.

Whomever put this one in*, thank you. It's a lot of fun.

DAY GAME ALERT!
Good evening gentle ladies and sirs, and welcome to the Queen City, the pride of Ontario, Toronto the Good. After stumbling through 3-6 homestand, the Twins visit O, Canada for the first time since June of last year.
Minnesota's been historically lousy in Toronto, but they've played well against the AL East this year. As the Twins are only one game up on the Jays for the 2nd WC spots, this series has some significance. Taking the mound tonight will be the PEDestroyer, Ervin Santana, trying to bounce back from his first loss of the season. Facing off will be some schmo named David Price, who will be making his debut in the Blue Jays uniform. So, you know, no real point in the watching this game.

This week, we're going to take a quick stroll through some of this year's Summer Mix. We'll start off with a track that we couldn't quite locate for the streaming crowd.

Okay, so, a couple of hiccups. I would like to note the following amends:
Algonad: I already had that song in my library, so while looking for the ones I didn't have, I told myself I'd throw that one in later. Never did. Sorry.
Zack: I originally couldn't find that Eskimeaux track and was going to get back to it, but never followed up. The Speedy Ortiz track was the last song to be cut, so if it's not too uncool, I'm just going to reintroduce that one.
Whoever's supplemental tracks I ended up cutting (still haven't checked who submitted what again): I debated between just adding the previously noted tracks, or to keep true to the original 90 minute idea. I came down on the latter.

Should you feel like it, I've added a ratings bar to this post. Let us know what you think of this years mix (and if you're saucy enough, tell us why below).

I've created a revised Spotify playlist (I also couldn't find the Vinny Cha$e song), however I can't figure out a way to get it to play in order (again, song order was heavily considered). In that case, one could conceivably check this out (EDIT: if you want a link to the mix in a way that can loaded the opposite of up, email me at my user name (no spaces or puncuation)/at\the domain of this here website.
Ride on, Hot Rod.
Let's take a moment to remember Buddy Emmons, who passed away this week. Here he delivers the sweet, buttery tones of the notorious finicky pedal steel along with the the rich velvet vocals of Mr. Ray Price.
