It’s finally springtime in the midwest United States, so here’s a mix that goes well with outdoor barbeques, spring baseball, flying kites, and all that good stuff.

On the mix, you’ll hear songs about home (3, 9), non-prescription pharmaceuticals (15, 19), party cars (2), Canada (11), social protests (4, 5), and, of course, love and loss (1, 14, 20).

This download link will be available for a limited time.

As always, if you find something you like, please support the artists.  Like, with money and stuff.  They have to eat too.  Buy an album, buy a t-shirt, go to a show, etc. etc.

The cover art was done by the fine folks over at Faithless Street – special thanks to a lovably bitter and funny fella named ‘Monkey’ for coming up with the idea.

Cheers, and happy listening.
