An introductory mix

In an attempt to get started on this project I'm putting up this mix. It's full of what I consider perfect summer songs - melodic, punchy, fun, occasionally goofy, with a slight twinge of melancholy - and it gives a pretty good overview of the kind of music that'll be appearing on this blog eventually.
