17 Tracks Summer 2010 Mix

     The 17 Tracks Summer Mix is an annual tradition, and this, it's third installment, is the best yet.  You won't find any gag-worthy trash like "California Gurls" [sic] on it, but you'll find some rocking jams to blast with the windows rolled down and the wind in your hair.  Long live summer.  If you want a copy, you know who to ask.  If you like the artists, support them and buy their album.

See the tracklisting after the jump.

Free Download: Mike Posner "Cooler Than Me"

     Mike Posner is a Duke graduate who spent his weekends trying to be a rock star by touring and working on mixtapes.  Managed by the same manager as not-quite-there-yet rapper Wale, he's collaborated with artists as cool as Kid Cudi and as lame as 3OH!3.  His debut single, "Cooler Than Me", just made the top 40 this week at position No. 40 and is available for free legal download here.  It's one part Sam Sparro, one part Kid Cudi, and one part Robin Thicke.  Check the video below, but be warned, the song doesn't start until a minute in.  What was his manager thinking?
