We are Mondo Boys — a NY/LA mixtape/sound collage collaborative. This is our faded out late-summer mix. We do cassettes/digital.
“WEIRD SUMMER” was created exclusively to get you through those last few incredibly sticky days of the hottest god damn summer you can remember. Fuel for the fire. Grab that boom box, hit the beach, and turn up the volume. Best served before 9.21.2009. Mucho take it easy. – MB

Lime

Aquarium Drunkard should do a feature where readers can post their own summer mixtapes (in response to comment #3).
Yer Weird Summer Mixtape presents a phenomenal cache of tracks – this will be a mainstay in my iPod/iTunes rotation for a while.
Woooooohoooooo!
Oh this is so rad. Burned & in the car for the drive home.
Yeah, but where’s “Weird Summer” by the Velvet Crush? 🙂
Awesome mix, no doubt. Now I need to throw a Labor Day party!
Fully feeling the summer vibes.
Mad props!

This is without doubt the best summer mix I’ve heard all year. You guys did an amazing job, from the song selection to the ordering to the flow it’s obvious that you put a lot of time and work into it. Thanks for sharing.

Amazing! You’ve outdone yourselves. It’s just too good.

What a great mix tape; works for the 50 something dad and the 15 year old daughter. Thanks so much for posting the link.
Mark and Eleanor
Amazing mix. Turned me on to a whole slew of bands I was unaware of.
Plan on putting this on a 60 minute cassette, it was made for it.
Bookmarking blog…now.
I’ve been listening to your mix while driving around this past week and this is an exceptionally fine collection to evoke summer. The transitions are just wonderful! Thank you for putting it together.
This is great! listened to the whole thing, and loving the whole vibe
Fantastic. Ultimate driving to the beach tunes!!!! Reached their full potential en route to Robert Moses with boards on Sunday. PAZ!
What a great mix, essential on our drive south from SF to Santa Cruz, Capitola, and Monterey!
I’ll be playing this late into November, as ” The Summer” in Florida becomes more and more tolerable toward driving with the windows down.
Thanks and get to work on Weird Summer 2, Son of Weird Summer…please?
this rules so hard. fantastic work guys!
great mix
amazing. thx for sharing this. is love
anyone who know how to transfer this to itunes?
Is this still up for download? I can’t tell. When I try to download either the zip or mp3, it seems to cancel itself after only a few megabytes… May I request a re-up if it’s not just something wrong with my computer?
i think it is working hannah
Is this mix still available? The zip file is unable to open.
hc
Just threw a fourth of July party with this mix as background music. It went over swimmingly. Thanks!
