Heads up! This playlist functions like so: to play a song – press the 1st button, to pause it – the 2nd button, and to stop it – the 3rd. To move back and forth to the next track or previous track – press the last two buttons on the right. Hey! It’s your old friend, the boom box – you can handle it.
So, I’ve created a so-called “summer mix.” It’s a collection of new tunes that mingle with a scattering of ’80s and ’90s songs. (There are 15 songs in total.) To clarify, Polaris was a music project created by the band Miracle Legion. The song is actually titled “Summerbaby” but “I Was Around” is more recognizable, and happened to be little Pete Wrigley’s favorite melody of all time. If you’re following this, you get a gold star in my book. Other songs worth mentioning, are “Doot Doot” by the obscure early ’80s band Freur, and my favorite Cake song, “Comfort Eagle.” Don’t be afraid of the Air song. It’s entirely creepy, and has an eerie Manhunter meets The Lost Boys vibe to it. But, yay, summer!

While a good a mix, following the formula of low and high points, it does not follow the Barney Stinson formula of starting high and going for nothing but rise from there, which is how you truly get psyched for summer, in my opinion.

Ah. Yes, well, I’ll leave said formulas in the hands of men. For example, if a bar here is equipped with a jukebox, I can trust Parker to play “Panama” by Van Halen. Now, we haven’t found a jukebox yet that plays “You’re the Best” by Joe Esposito, but that never stops anyone from singing it aloud anyway.
