Jams of the Summer - 1989

My entry in this year’s Summer Mix Series. Since typical “best of summer” mixes aren’t allowed, and that’s kind of been our thing, Jacob and I decided to mix things up a bit. “No best of summer” implies the summer of 2009, right?

So here’s the Jams of the Summer - 1989. Go back 20 years for some familiar jams, jams you never knew you needed, and one really awesome Michael Nesmith song.
