It's a summer dedication to camping... silly, a little more organic, slightly reminiscient... I always prefer my mixes to taper out at the end, and this mix is a perfect example. It starts out with uptempo, fun, energetic tunes and eventually settles down for the night with some acoustic, mellow, in-a-daze-staring-at-the-campfi re-wishing-the-summer-never-ends tracks. In fact I'm taking it camping this weekend.

tracklist

1	Minus the Bear : Absinthe Party at the Fly Honey Warehouse
	It's a good starter song for the mix. Slower at first but opens the gate for good/happy/drunk/remember-the-time? moments ahead. SHOW MORE

	Track Description: It's a good starter song for the mix. Slower at first but opens the gate for good/happy/drunk/remember-the-time? moments ahead. SHOW LESS
2	Animal Collective : The Purple Bottle
	The pure definition of a silly hippie song. But with more drugs annnnd... ADHD. SHOW MORE
	Track 2 from Feels Length: 00:06:50 Year: 2005

3	The Beatles : Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
	Oh, the silliness continues! Except now people might know this song! Go get another drink already. SHOW MORE

	Track Description: Oh, the silliness continues! Except now people might know this song! Go get another drink already. SHOW LESS
4	Scissor Sisters : Take Your Mama
	It's like they cloned Elton John back in the 70s and then hatched him anew in 2004! And tossed in a few drag queens for good measure. SHOW MORE
	Track 4 from Scissor Sisters Length: 00:04:33 Year: 2004
	Track Description: It's like they cloned Elton John back in the 70s and then hatched him anew in 2004! And tossed in a few drag queens for good measure. SHOW LESS
5	The White Stripes : Hello Operator
	Crunchy, bluesy guitar and vocals channeling Robert Plant. If it wasn't obvious already. SHOW MORE
	Track 5 from De Stijl Length: 00:02:36 Year: 2000
	Track Description: Crunchy, bluesy guitar and vocals channeling Robert Plant. If it wasn't obvious already. SHOW LESS
6	Ryan Adams : To Be Young (Is To Be Sad, Is To Be High)
	Among the right crowd, the lyrics "I got high-igh-igh!" will delight, titillate and cause immediate bursting into song, whether or not they know it. C'mon, I went to UO. It's a fun song, I swear! SHOW MORE
	Track 6 from Heartbreaker Length: 00:03:04 Year: 2000
	Track Description: Among the right crowd, the lyrics "I got high-igh-igh!" will delight, titillate and cause immediate bursting into song, whether or not they know it. C'mon, I went to UO. It's a fun song, I swear! SHOW LESS
7	Bob Dylan : Rainy Day Women #12 & 35
	Who knew this WASN'T called "Everybody Must Get Stoned"?? I sure as hell didn't. Anyway, this compliments the drug of choice mentioned in the previous song and again, causes many a drunk and/or stoned person to sing and warble as loud as possible. Maybe toss out a few high fives, if they're feeling particularly saucy. SHOW MORE
	Track 7 from Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Length: 00:04:34 Year: 2000

8	Jane's Addiction : Jane Says
	This is my favorite version of this song. The steel drums are more defined, and the intro is much more appealing, in my opinion. Plus it just sounds happier than the single version. SHOW MORE
	Track 8 from Kettle Whistle Length: 00:06:26 Year: 1997
	Track Description: This is my favorite version of this song. The steel drums are more defined, and the intro is much more appealing, in my opinion. Plus it just sounds happier than the single version. SHOW LESS
9	Band of Horses : The First Song
	It just has that shimmery, hazy summer feel to it. SHOW MORE

	Track Description: It just has that shimmery, hazy summer feel to it. SHOW LESS
10	Clap Your Hands Say Yeah : Is This Love?
	It kinda makes me want to get up and... wiggle. SHOW MORE
	Track 10 from Clap Your Hands Say Yeah Length: 00:03:11 Year: 2005
	Track Description: It kinda makes me want to get up and... wiggle. SHOW LESS
11	David Bowie : Golden Years
	By this point you should have had a couple drinks, you're feeling warm and happy, and then... Bowie comes on. How can you resist not mimicking his falsetto "Aaangel!" You can't. So go for it. SHOW MORE
	Track 11 from A Knight's Tale Length: 00:03:27

12	Pixies : Here Comes Your Man
	A song you just nod along with, glad that it's playing but one you don't necessarily have to acknowledge in any other way. A Pixies classic. SHOW MORE
