We'll kick off the Summer Mix week with, by far, the most earwormy song for me. Hot damn these guys are weird and awesome.

Loading... All right good and gentle folk of of the Nation, it is once again time to toss in your nominations for this year's Summer Mix. The rules remains the same:
1. The theme is "Summer". You're free to interpret that as you'd like.
2. Put your nominations in a Spoiler box.
3. You may nominate up to 3 songs. Any further nominations will be ignored.
4. Unless we get an insane amount of nominations for some reason, everyone's first choice is automatically in. The rest of the mix will be filled out with the other nominations.
After that, we'll throw everything in a pot and let it simmer for a few weeks then release it upon an unsuspecting public.
WGOM Summer Mix 2015
WGOM Summer Mix 2016
WGOM Summer Mix 2017
Mr. .Paak ended our mix last year, so fitting for him to start off the nominations this year.

Anyway, grab a copy here if you'd like. Only 2 different quality levels, and it's not that big a difference anyway.

(I did swap out the last Prince song for a different live performance of the same song. Much tighter.)
5th seed!? Pfft. I have no idea by what rationale they put Moustakas ahead of Sano (let alone the other slights), but hopefully he'll make them pay.
Also, is Berman still around for this? If so, I'm finding some good tunes. Perhaps this year's WGOM Summer Mix! 😎 😎 😎
Not sure how this song hasn't ended up on the mix before. Definitely quintessential summer stuff.

In that folder, you'll see several files. If you want the individual files, go to the folder labeled "Tracks". However, this year (which I've wanted to do for the last couple), we've created a single mp3 that contains the mix in its entirety, which is the preferred method of consumption. The result is a seamless mix with each track flowing directly into the next. There are 3 versions of varying bitrates, so please select the sound quality of your choice (the lowest one isn't shabby or anything though).
