I call it the Bikeride Lemonade Sunshine Funtime.
Listen to it!
1. Ben Lee - We're all in this Together
Total happy-feelgood summer song.
2. Bishop Allen - Click Click Click Click
Also mega-happy wonderful summertime tune.
3. Beulah - If we can land a man on the moon then surely I can win your heart
Lovely tune by my favourite band when I was 16.
4. Casper and the Cookies - Kiss a Friend
Casper is a fantastic fellow, and his songs make me happy.
5. Francoise Hardy - Comment to dire Adieu
Summertime always leads to me loving French music.
6. Jens Lekman - Kanske Ar Jag Kar I Dig
Don't worry, the song's in English. Jens is my current favourite song-making person in the world.
7. Magnetic Fields - I don't really love you anymore
Listening to the Magnetic Fields is almost like being in love.
8. Of Montreal - Tim I wish you were born a girl
Of Montreal: Owning every album they've ever made will improve the quality of your life.
9. The Zombies - Care of Cell 44
Summertime and Zombies makes for a happy Heather.
10. Vampire Weekend - Oxford Comma
Okay, I really like oxford commas. But I also like this song.
I put the play list in almost-alphabetical order by artist. Sometimes I'll spend hours fine-tuning the delicate flow of songs on a mixtape until it's perfect, but sometimes the alphabet does a great job for you.

I was a big Francoise Hardy fan growing up. I think I wanted to be her for a while there. Thanks for the listen - sounds like perfect riding bike music.
OMG, this is so frigging awesome! :D
"... we are all made of atoms... da da da DA...."
I've still got tons of work to do but I think this is a good time to take a coffee break now. :)
wonderful mix tape! i especially love the of montreal, jens lekman and vampire weekend...but i'm not familiar with some of the particular songs. many thanks for the great tips! (i think we share scarily similar music tastes...)
I absolutely want to be as cool as the polka dot bathing suit lady in your picture.
What a pretty happy listen! I'm so glad to have found you and all of your moustache-loving, bicycle-riding, happy summer song glory!
A lovely way to start the morning - thanks so much!
Oh thanks for sharing that !

Sounds like it is a great mix tape. I love Vampire Weekend!!!
Great choices! I spend a lot of time deciding the order of my songs too - there's nothing worse than a bad mix on a tape or CD that you listen to over and over.
I love your lemon lime sunshine mix tape. Some artists I've never heard of, how delightful. I cannot wait to make a mixtape of my own to share on my blog. You have no idea how much time I used to put into making PERFECT mix tapes. Wait, you probably do. Have fun one your wild road trip to the Yukon. Drive safe! Don't forget to put a plastic Jesus on the dashboard.
I have always been rubbish at making good mix tapes... but yours is fab! And I seriously love your title!! Makes me long for a bike ride and some lemonade in the sunshine... I wonder why?
that is so neat!
Very beautiful paintings. I love them! Nice blog as well.

I have really been feeling the Oxford Comma song lately! A friend actually made me a mixed tape and included that. Thank you for that "We're all in this together"- I am going to have to download it because it made me really happy!
