Pre-Summer ’08 Mix
Summer doesn’t start until next Friday, but I’m in a summery mood so here’s a pre-summer mix.
Some notes:
Heat waves make me think of old people without air conditioning dying alone in their apartments, which is sort of why I included “Marie Provost,” a song about a former star who died alone and was gnawed by her dachshund.
I expect Santogold to be this summer’s M.I.A. in terms of guilty pop pleasure, and I followed her in my mix with the Go-Go’s because to me they sound relative. (Although someone pointed out to me after I’d compiled this mix that a closer comparison is “Voices Carry”-era Aimee Mann.)
Anyway, enjoy.
