Here is the long awaited Side A for my Lazy Summer Chill Mix. Meant to fit on one side of a 90 minute cassette tape, this side is the upbeat, not-so-lazy precursor to the more mellow, laid-back chill-ness of Side B.

This side would go well (much like side b) with a long drive on an empty rural highway on a hot summer day.. or even just cruising around town. Or hanging out at a big red barn with a nice, cold beer in your hand and a couple good friends.

3 Sublime : Same in the End
This is a great song. Heavy, but keeps the ska beat in the guitar. Kindof makes you want to drive fast if you're listening in the car.

6 Mike Ness : Don't Think Twice
This follows well behind Social D, of course because of the Mike Ness connection. Slows the pace just slightly with this Bob Dylan cover before The Clash next.

11 Hi Ho, Six Shooter! : The Top Of The Stairs
Summer is the time for folk-punk, or in this case, old-west-punk. An outstanding, lesser known band with an outstanding song about cowboys and whores.

12 This Bike is a Pipe Bomb : Jack Johnson
A song about a boxer, this makes a great opening song, this song also works well at the end of a mix. I decided to finish off with this in keeping up with the alt/country/folk-punk of the last song.

Some of these songs should never ever be on any mixtape. In fact they never should have been made, but plus 1 for the meat puppets.

Get a plus for Clash and Helio Sequence (who are adorable) but Clash and Against Me! will never mix in my book, cos well... I'm not gonna get into it because I will only offend. I wrote a review of them once and it was not good.

Nice mix, the Helio Sequence song almost made it on my 'best album-openers' mix.

'El Scorcho' bumped you up a few points, as Pinkerton is one of my all-time favourite albums and the only Weezer album that I will even acknowledge.

Nice work!

The only reason you got a +1 from meon this one is the meat puppets and the clash. Everclear will always knock you down many points. For Future referance.

Just like all great collections there is a song with gang vocals, but only one, which makes it epic.
