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?
Happy Birthday–May 30
