SUMMER MIX, THE XX VERSION

i was going for summer, but i think i got fall. may your summer be sunny, windswept, and jangly.

a few of these songs apply to a specific summer—that of 2004—and what was playing in the backyard when hil and i met, or in the long weeks after in my room, or on our long drives up and down the coast.
