Songs of Summer 2008

Last year it was Yeasayer's '2080,' two years ago 'The Funeral' from Band of Horses. White it's still too early to settle on my song of the summer for 2008, I will take this holiday-eve opportunity to offer up a several addictive tunes. They aren't even necessarily the best songs, rather the ones most likely to define my summer. Anyway, here's one possible soundtrack to your 4th of July festivities. In order to embed the streams (via imeem), I limited my choices to music officially released to date. So no Beck, no Deerhunter, etc. Still a fine mix, if you ask me. Enjoy.
