So, the Surfrider Foundation, once again deciding to be a totally badass organization decided to have a contest asking people to list their top ten summer tunes. The prize is free tickets to the upcoming Jack Johnson tour so I figured I'd be a good sport and play along. Hey, I always like making new playlists. If only the kids today knew about the glory of the mixed cassette tape. Ah, those were the days. Maybe you got the Memorex tapes with the multi-colors that you could write on with a Sharpie, or as the girls preferred, the glitter pen! If it was a mix you really thought was awesome then maybe you splurged and spent the extra few bucks for the Maxell blank tapes, charcoal gray with white labels. One tape, 110 minutes? ...aww yeah! That was some pre-"drag-n-drop" magic.
In any event, I put together a little sampling of sensational tunes for summer sun adventures. Enjoi.

1) The Hook - Stephen Malkmus
2) Center of Gravity - Yo La Tengo
