Some Kind of Fireworks: An Obnoxious Summer Mix by Kelseymac
Because we need another fucking summer mix, right?
No, but aside from the general nausea induced by the above picture (guess how much time I spent in Photoshop with THAT one?), I quite like this mix. It’s all over the board—different genres, sounds, styles, etc.—but that’s how I like my mixes. I like to hear something different with every song.
I threw together a list of a bunch of tunes I’ve been listening to lately and tried to put them in some listenable order. Some are new, some very old, some are obvious, some are not, but all of ‘em are songs that remind me of summer. Maybe they won’t “work for you,” but I’ve been listening to this mix for a few days now and I like it. So…just go with it.
