Yikes! Summer is passing by faster than a swift kick from Crystal Castles’ Alice Glass. A few more weeks and the kids will be off to school, Slip ‘N Slides will be rolled up and tossed in the garage, and neighborhood pools across the country will close shop ’til next year. But it isn’t over yet! There’s still time to do all those fun activities you said you’d do when summer came along, but never got around to doing (I’ve been meaning to build a raft and float down the Chicago River for the past 5 summers). As you get out there and enjoy the remaining days of pleasant weather, let our Friday Mixtape provide the tunes along the way. As always, included is a mix of the week’s best singles, covers, and remixes, plus songs from up-and-comers you just might want to check out.
