There are many reasons why I feel that summertime is the best time of the year, and most of them are here on this playlist. Spanning thirty-six songs (!!), this 16th pmaCAST — and our longest podcast ever, clocking in at over 2 hours and 10 minutes — is all about the tunes that make a perfect summertime listen. Download this here or on iTunes (via the links above), put it on your iPod, put it on a mixtape-shaped flash-drive (seriously, buy one) and give it to your friends, play it at a beach party — do something with it!

I am LOVING this mix. Best selection yet IMO.

ben July 9, 2009 at 9:35 pm

oh and thank you for those mp3s! I didn’t have ANY of them. Good call.

Aly July 9, 2009 at 9:36 pm

holy shit! in a single episode, you have introduced me to so many bands I didn’t know before! My favorite are The xx. I need more from them!!!!

Anyway, like always awesome, awesome podcast. Best blog ever.

C Segel July 9, 2009 at 9:38 pm

good looking on posting mp3s of lesser known bands. We didn’t need Lisztomania or Dull Life or Little Secrets again

French July 9, 2009 at 9:41 pm

gorgeous mix of new and established bands! good look! i was worried w/ the last one… it was so mainstream.

I’m having so much fun listening to this.. I’m about to go on a roadtrip — this couldn’t have come at a better time.

It will be a 6 hour drive each way.. I have stocked up on my favorite eps of the pmaCAST, this one included. Fuckin’ awesome.

Luis Tovar July 9, 2009 at 9:53 pm: THAT right there is exactly what I want the pmaCASTs to be used for! Thank you for listening.

Best podcast yet! I must say I wasn’t a huge fan of these before this made me a convert. Keep up the good work Luis!

Grant July 10, 2009 at 5:38 am

Didn’t have to wait too long for this one. Couldn’t get any more perfect as I have a 5 hour road trip ahead of me and the sun is shining. Thanks!

Rata July 10, 2009 at 8:56 am

I hope it is so hot that it burns down all the rain here. But I am pretty sure it will.

PerlonKid July 10, 2009 at 10:39 am

Amazing tunes! Anyone able to put together a .cue file to split out the tracks tho?

I’ve listened to the first 30mins too many times and I’ve got Repetitive Strain Syndrome on my index finger from fast forwarding it on my ipod!!

Jackie July 10, 2009 at 5:52 pm

I really needed this today. Thank you PMA.

nate July 10, 2009 at 5:53 pm

this mix kicks some serious ass. it’s hot out, but i’ll stay in and listen to this for the next two hours and ten minutes

Tyler. July 10, 2009 at 5:54 pm

This is… love. Well done Luis.

Anonymous July 10, 2009 at 5:57 pm

Some of my favorite tunes of the year on in this +++ some new favorites. I an in LOVE with that Casiokids song. It’s magnificent x 100.

Greatest pmaCAST so far.

Anony!! July 10, 2009 at 5:58 pm

Well played, sir.

The only song I wasn’t particularly impressed with was that Horrors track. Aside from that, ace stuff.

Will July 10, 2009 at 6:00 pm

NICE! Found you via a friend on Twitter. I just RSSed you guys and subscribed to your awesome podcast. Looks like I have a 16 episodes to catch up on

PS: I am thinking about buying one of those mixtape usb drives.

Gen July 10, 2009 at 6:27 pm

Took this one out to the beach with me & back. So excellent.

Anonymous July 10, 2009 at 9:43 pm

Holy shit! For summer only mix is the bomb! too bad its winter in Australia!

Diane July 15, 2009 at 9:22 am

Luis,

I am seriously loving this new mix. It’s upbeat, happy, and the perfect driving playlist in the summer. I just wish I had a convertible and was driving down PCH instead of the backwoods of ATL.

Also, love the new Retweet button. That’s awesome!

Paulette July 15, 2009 at 10:31 pm

Found your blog last month and it was love at first… listen. Now I am making my way backwards. What a great summer mix, can’t wait to try it out on a road trip! Thank you!
