King of Summertime Twenty Ten!
Posted by in musicHey gang! Can you frickin feel it?! It’s Memorial Day, sun’s out, weather’s hot, the girls are playing badminton next door, the air smells like charcoal and cut grass – summertime baby! Forget this solstice junk (sorry Pagans). Everyone knows summer starts today. And you know what that means – another fresh batch of summer jamz from yer boy Mixmaster Jack. (I don’t know why I’m talking like this.) Anyway, no big theme here like the last few years – just a bunch of good summery songs smooshed together just for you. So I hope you guys out there enjoy my selections this year. And, if this is your first time stopping by for some of my summer mixery, I’ve got seven (seven!) mixes from previous years just waiting for you to rock out with.

LOVES. Thanks for giving the annual joy of this mix. It is the perfect soundtrack for driving with the windows down in the truck on the way to the lake with the jet ski in tow – which is exactly what I am doing this beautiful weekend. Wish you were here, Poet Jack.
Thanks, The OG K Bish! Glad you like it. Wish I was there too, or that you were here!
