2008 Soundtrack of Summer

For Christmas this year I got a 300 CD Carousel to add to my stereo system. Since Christmas, I have been adding CDs to the new player and going through some old mixes. To counteract the cold snow coming down outside, I thought I'd take some time today to share with you my Summer mix from 2008.

1. Master Blaster by Marc Broussard - One verse and one chorus of this Stevie Wonder hit from a 2006 concert

2. Pressure Drop by Toots and the Maytalls

3. I Wanna Be Your Lover by Devandra Banhardt

4. Steal My Sunshine by LEN

5. Hottie Boombalottie by Kef

6. Take Me There by Blackstreet & Mya - This is the version that samples "ABC" by the Jackson 5, not the version that samples the Rugrats theme

7. Stop the Love You Save by the Jackson 5

8. Panama by Van Halen - Despite this inclusion, I still maintain that Van Halen was better with Sammy Hagar

9. Rocky Mountain Way by Joe Walsh

10. When the World Ends by Dave Matthews Band - Live version from their Central Park concert album

11. Dear Mr. Fantasy by Traffic

12. When the Levee Breaks by Led Zeppelin
