Comment:

I'll admit, this is probably one of the silliest mixes I've made - how else do you explain Jimi Hendrix and Coolio in the same playlist? Still, in absence of a summer mix this year, I think this one has "fun times" written all over it. I mean really...how can you NOT be in a good mood while listening to "Sump'n New"? Silly or not, the last six tracks are just about pure fun. The title for this one comes from an episode of How I Met Your Mother where Ted, reveals that "Summer Breeze" is his guilty pleasure song that he sings when he gets nervous. Summer Bre-e-e-e-e-e-z-e. Cheers! -Famous.

Quite the jumble, but there's some gold in these hills. I haven't listened to that Coolio song in a decade probably, and for good reason, but I did enjoy it once upon a time, and I applaud your attempt to resurrect it. My faves on this would have to be Cat Empire and Buggles, though - great bands at their best. P.S. Yay "How I Met Your Mother"!
