Theres just something about summer that makes music sound better. I spend a lot of time in my car during the summer; driving to swim practice, heading to baseball games, going on road trips, or just aimlessly cruising with the windows down. I also make a lot of mixed CDs to keep things spontaneous, and the new one I made for this summer has been hitting the spot all month. I’ve pretty much been switching between this mixtape and Bassnectar’s new album Into The Sun (which I’m a major fan of, if you didn’t already hear). If you’ve got a wandering taste in music like I do, you’ll probably love this playlist that I aptly named "Good Time Summer Jams". It’s sure to spice up your daily commute and give you some new songs to check out, along with some forgotten favorites.

Listen to it on Spotify (check out the side bar!) or just ask me and I’ll burn you a copy. Vinnie’s been really digging it too, so if it has his stamp of approval I’m sure it’ll have yours! Check below for a run down on some of my favorite tracks off this mixtape.
21ST CENTURY BREAKDOWN
This Green Day song is an awesome rock anthem. I love the subtle melody paired with the fast and hard hitting drums. It’s a great summer song that will get you singing along in no time!

TALKING BODY
This is a newer song that gets stuck in my head extremely easily. Tove Lo is such a goddess, and this song has something hypnotically sexy about it. Throw in a pop beat, and I’m hooked!
|
IMMIGRANT SONG
A classic, this Led Zeppelin song just gets me in the zone. That addictive, smooth opening guitar riff complimented by Robert Plant’s wild vocals makes for the perfect jam for a summer day.
|
WANT TO WANT ME
Jason Derulo has found his way onto my playlists a lot lately. This lusty song shows off his singing skills, and it has an infectious pop vibe to it, which is probably why I can’t stop singing it!
|
DIRTY VIBE
This Skrillex song has almost everything I could want in a dubstep song. Insane lyrics that you can’t understand, a high hat that never quits, and deep and dirty drops over and over.

SPEAKERBOX
This song by Bassnectar is off his new album Into the Sun, and its bassline is probably going to blow out my speakers one day. It’s addictively dancetastic, and I can’t wait to hear it live!

ALL AROUND THE WORLD
What summer mix isn’t complete without the Red Hot Chili Peppers? And what better song than this funky rock smash blend of beauty. There are so many tempo changes, it’ll keep you guessing!
|
VANCOUVER BEATDOWN
This is one of my favorite Zomboy songs! Vinnie and I heard it live at CounterPoint earlier this summer and completely lost our minds. This song is killer fast, and sounds like something out of a video game. I love it!
|
ANIMALS
I just had to throw some Maroon 5 in there! This is an older song, but it’s perfect for a summer playlist. Before you know it, you’ll be belting it out along with Adam Levine. You won’t be able to help it!

There’s definitely more where this came from! Check out the full playlist on Spotify, I guarantee it’ll add some energy to your summer drives!
