Summer Mixes with Obnoxiously Long Titles Made Up of Onion Headlines, Inside Jokes, and Lars' Obsession with the Pyschedelic

It took almost a month and a half of procrastination and selection, but Jamie and I finally finished up our 4xCD box set of our favorite summer jams. I might share these online very soon, but here are the tracklists for those interested.

I'm also working on a bonus disc of fuzz-rock slow-burners (think Black Sabbath and other stoner-rock bands) and other mind-trippy music. Two 40-minute tracks of psychedelic collage.
