It’s my mid-summer playlist! I pulled this together from some recent releases, and I’m hoping you find something new to add to your rotation.
You can checkout the playlist on Lala below (after the jump) as well as the iTunes iMix.
As always, please send any recommendations and comments my way.
Enjoy,
-Dave
