‘In The Summertime’

Summertime is almost upon us in the UK; as a result I felt it was time to update the age-old summer playlist with the help of some friends (namely Chris Leydon). Below is a list of the tracks on the updates playlist as well as a link to the Spotify playlist (there would be some Beatles if they got their ass online). While all of these songs are not typical ’summer’ songs, they are what I like to listen to in the summer and I think they’re ’summery’.
