Inspired by Sirius Hits 1, The Beat 94-5 and this article from Sean Ross, here is a fun mix of some top 40 tracks (and a couple poppier indie rockers, for the audio fibre) to soundtrack a summer drive, a run, or drinks with friends.

DJ Notes
The first couple tracks Coral and I like because they sample or feature some fine classics. Madcon has some Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons going on, and Kristina jams out the Dave Clark Five. Nice. Just the other day I was thinking that DC5 would make the base for a fine modern dance song. I guess I was not the only person to think it.
Phoenix is so hot right now. The hipsters like it, The Zone is jamming it and the record is a gorgeous spin.
I heard a fairly in depth interview with Katy Perry on Sirius Hits 1 on our drive home from Sasquatch that made me like this chick a little bit more.
Coral loves Bat for Lashes and trolling the internets the otherday I found some remixes of her fave BFL track. The EP also had a cover of the Cure’s “A Forest” which would be worth your time if you’re a fan.
Go with yourself.
