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.

Sturgill Simpson – Living the Dream
A known quantity around here, but we'll go ahead and indulge anyway.
2014
Carpenter Brut – Turbo Killer
Whomever put this one in*, thank you. It's a lot of fun.
2015
*At this point, it's more fun not to go back and check who submitted what (something that could easily be done).
Vinny Cha$e – Harlem Roses ft. Kid Art
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.
2013
Nina Persson – Tulsa Queen
I was digging around for Emmylou Harris songs when this one randomly played. I'm glad that I sat through the slow open as it's a great cover.
WGOM Summer Mix 2015 (OFFICIAL POST)
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.
IN ADDITION
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.
Buddy Emmons & Ray Price – Nightlife
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.
