Will mix tapes change the weather? How remarkable! I must try that...
"Summer Rain" is quite appropriate. Oy...
I made a Summer playlist last year for my girl crush's bachelorette party. I listen to it now and brings last Summer back, What a great idea.
I may do another one this year too.
I make up summer mixes and anytime mixes and never realize how bad I am at it sometimes until someone else happens to raise an eyebrow if they're in earshot at some of my selections. I think it's the fact that I like at odds songs butting up against each other.
I like Alex Chilton, nice touch :)
