Taking a stab at some summer mixes... one for the day, one at night.

Comments: These are both works in progress... Some parts I like, some I don't, so comments are more than welcome, including removing, substituting, or even adding songs. And I know a good chunk of these songs wouldnt usually be seen on AP.net, but i was drawing all of this from my library of music by what fit best, so bear with me on that account.

Summer Days: Starting out with some electronic-inpired/dance music, moving on to good ol' summer punk, then ending with a confused mix of summer songs.
Head Automatica - At The Speed Of A Yellow Bullet
Panic! At The Disco - Time To Dance
Supermassive Black Hole - Muse
Head Automatica - Dance Party Plus
Motion City Soundrack - Time TUrn Fragile
blink-182 - The Rock Show
New Found Glory - Something I Call Personality
Goldfinger - Superman
Sum 41 - All She's Got
New Found Glory - The Goonies 'R' Good Enough
Queens of the Stone Age - Little Sister
Dropkick Murpheys - Sunshine Highway
Weezer - Keep Fishin'
Citizen King - Better Days
Cake - Never There
Chronic Future - Stop Pretending


Summer Nights: Starting off with some calm but upbeat tracks that probably could have also gone at the end of the Days list, moving lighter and lighter through similr tracks, to the last 4 (my favorite section) with some atmospheric, calming tracks, culminating with Sway, the perfect end (for me, anyway).
Dave Melillo - Sam's Song
Trapt - Stories
Weezer - Island in the Sun
Alien Ant Farm - Glow
Eagle Eye Cherry - Save Tonight
Blues Traveler - Run- Around
Jack Johnson - Good People
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Hard to Concentrate
The Postal Service - Such Great Heights
Incubus - Drive
Dave Melillo - This is 2005
Rise Against - Swing Life Away
Muse - Falling Away With You
Foo Fighters - Cold Day in the Sun
Jimmy Eat World - Night Drive
lostprophets - Sway




Like I said, comments, questions, and suggestions are very much welcome, as this is a work in progress.

Trapt - Stories is like a hidden gem on their CD, and the only song I still like by them. Good choice.

It is great. Definitely much better than any of their singles. Your mixes are pretty good. I like that you have some 90's in there. I also like that you chose "Island in the Sun," the ultimate summer song and one of my personal favorites. I wouldn't have chosen "Drive" or "The Rock Show," but they're good otherwise.
