This is a great mix albeit with shortcomings. Panama would work way better to kick the whole thing off rather than being a spike in the denouement. Crosby Stills and Nash feel really dated here and the Led Zepplin feels too heavy. But using a Beck backbone with Wilco and Spoon really makes this a fun disk that I’m still listening to in my car.

Summer Jams 2010 on Monday! Just in time for the ultimate test: my trip to Hawaii with the girlfriend.
