The ‘Tail-End of Summer but Let’s not Forget Summer’ 10-song mix:

I know, my aloe-covered saucy readers...we've enjoyed digging our toes into the powder-fresh sand and wearing items of clothing that confused 66-year-olds can only describe as 'stringy,' but alas, soon we'll have the 'Fall-season breathe in the slow moving air' mixes. Let's wrap it up with another solid month and a half-mix. Right? Who is with me? We must keep playing volleyball in shorts that are too short and drinking one-season-trendy-beers that staple beer companies try to flood the market with. Sneeriously? Lets beach it to some music!

1) Grand National - Boner
That's right. Not a typo. Boner. Exactly what this song does for us when we need some music playing whilst driving to the beach.
2) Eagles of Death Metal - I Gotta Feeling (Just Nineteen)
A song about sex. A sex about rock. A rock on some sand. Let's rock on some sand.
3) Family Force 5 - Dance or Die
FF5 decides to mix Daft Punk with Electro-Synth, fuzz-bass and keytar to come up with a happy, corny dance song that screams, "Hey, re-apply sun tan lotion to the tops of my dance feet."
4) Mark Ronson feat. Amy Winehouse - Valerie (The Zutons cover)
Outselling the original, Mark Ronson makes a happy clap-bah-bah-clap-clap song. Amy Winehouse, while cracked out, has got some pipes, and more importantly...style. The two make a funky cover really pop.
5) Regina Spektor - Fidelity
Piano crunk indie. If those three words next to each other didn't make you laugh, or at least smile, stop reading this blog.
6) Say Anything - Baby Girl, I'm A Blur
Turn this on, and the short-shorts volleyball game cited above will get a little too competitive, yet still feel-good. Expect to see some good team work.
7) Moloko - The Time is Now
Get a little sexy to this one. Go refill your drink. Make sure you bring a fancy cooler, and do everything in slow motion.
Rosalia de Souza - Adriana
Do you own white linen and khaki combos? Wear 'em.
9) Seals and Crofts - Summer Breeze
A phenomenal song, timeless, elegant. Even the older couple sitting close by to your overly populated, flesh toned beach brigade will say, "You know, Verne, maybe we shouldn't pack up our stuff and walk back towards our timeshare. It's okay here."
10) Caviar - Tangerine Speedo
This one takes this 10-song mix to the next, next level. "Little latin lovers drinking gin and mellow yellows." Done. The aforementioned Verne will pack her (her/his, I can never tell) belongings shortly thereafter.
*Super Bonus Power-Up Secret Track* Jim Sturgess, Evan Rachel Wood, Lisa Hogg - Hold Me Tight (Across The Universe Soundtrack, Beatles Cover)
