holding hands in june, too (HHIJ II)

My peeps! Here is the Summer 2011 soundtrack.

This year is considerably different from last year. Not in artists (there are quite a few repeats), but in tone. I think this year is a little more somber than the bounciness of last year. A wise twin sister made the analogy that last year was more for a summer afternoon, whereas this year is more for a summer evening.

Other features of HHIJ II:
--Much fewer Brits on here....but two songs featuring Swedes!
--Three artists named Ben (four songs feat. Bens)
--Four Youtube stars (two songs feat. them)
--Two songs that feature whistling
--More profanity/suggestive themes (sorry)
--A lot of love songs
--My favorite song of all time
