  • Here’s the first Dudes Are Alright mix just in time for the dying days of summer.  You’re hopefully spending your weekends at a summerhouse that belongs to you or one of your fantastic friends, getting away from the muggy city streets. 
I opened it up with The Ventures version of the classic Lovin’ Spoonful song, just in case your stuck in the urban jungle for the next few weeks, and I figured I’d end it with a summer rock classic.  Margarita Korol did the artwork for this mix.
