Click on the turntable on the left to listen to a continuous stream of music featured on Pretty Much Amazing - updated every day. For more, you can check out the Best Songs of 2011, or our Best Albums of 2011.

It’s here — our second annual summer podcast, our 29th overall and our first one since February. You can still download 2009′s Summer Playlist. This year’s summer playlist sits at just over an hour and forty minutes of high-fructose tunage that will (hopefully) soundtrack one of those summer moments people make shitty movies about. Check out the track and stream/download below:

I might be adding to this playlist in the coming weeks, so if you’ve got a summer jam that you think belongs on the podcast, let me know in the comments. I’ll fit the ones I can into the next one.

Great podcast. It’s a great choice of songs!
It may not be that cheerful for summer, but summer songs doesn’t have to always be funny songs!
Thank you!
