| 2 | Clap Your Hands Say Yeah : The Skin Of My Yellow Country Teeth |
|
Oh yes. We are all familiar with the success story that is Clap Your Hands. And of course, this song. It's pretty perfect, and it will always always remind me of sunroofs, rope swings, and swimming holes.

| 6 | The Flaming Lips : Yoshimi Battle the Pink Robots, Pt. 1 |

| 7 | Apples In Stereo : We'll Come To Be |

| 10 | Architecture in Helsinki : The Cemetary |

| 11 | islands : don't call me whitney, bobby |
|
Kind of a Caribbean feel to it, although not as much as "Jogging Gorgeous Summer." Islands is fun and carefree and very similar to Unicorns in its quirkiness, but has a more varied sound. This song sounds like rainbows.

| 12 | Modest Mouse : Summer |
|
I don't care what anyone says, I love Modest Mouse. The new and the old. But especially the old. And this song made it on the mix not just because of its name but also because it reminds me of roadtrips and summer parties.

| 13 | Belle & Sebastian : I'm A Cuckoo |

One of my favorite Belle & Sebastian's. The very first summer mix I ever made had a Belle & Sebastian song on it, and now I can't help but putting at least one on every summer mix I make.

| 14 | Neutral Milk Hotel : In The Aeroplane Over The Sea |
|
Title track off NMH's infamous In The Aeroplane Over The Sea. I feel like it's kind of about appreciating what you have, where you are, what you're doing, who you're with, etc. and what more is summer about than that?

| 17 | Rilo Kiley : Spectacular Views (Salute My Shorts!) |

This song contains one of my favorite lyrics (everyone fucks up it's gonna be okay), and it's probably one of my favorites off Take Offs and Landings. It's summery and sweet.

i find it confusing/offensive that of all the artists on this mix, "i don't care what anyone says" opens the descriptions for modest mouse and built to spill.
