Summer Songs on KCRW

It just so happens that both Chuck Pand I made Summer mixes yesterday – his was on air from 6 to 9pm filling in for Gary Calamar while mine was on my iTunes at the request of a pop-loving friend. We have a few songs in common (Neon Indian, War and Lovin’ Spoonful made both lists) but otherwise, they are pretty different.

Check out Chuck P’s tracklist hereand hear the show in the archives. Mine is below.
