Good To The Last Drop of Summer

It’s a little embarrassing that it’s taken this long for our mix to get posted. Things happen. At any rate, what has finally emerged is this paean to summer from njr and avocado rabbit, compiled at a time when the last drops of summer were being squeezed from the early September skies.

Who better to give us the inspiration for this double-disc set than the eternal beach boy himself, Brian Wilson.

“Another car running fast,
Another song on the beach,
I take a trip through the past,
When summer’s way out of reach.”
