As if there weren't already enough to love about Dirty Projectors--e.g., their last album, Rise Above--Dave Longstreth's new summer music playlist, commissioned by New York Magazine, is brilliant & charming & funny, and--most important--great to listen to.
To wit:
1. Jackie Wilson, "Lonely Teardrops"
"I've been looking for ecstatic voices, and Jackie’s got it. Once, while driving the family minivan on a summer vacation, my dad got a speeding ticket listening to this song. It made him drive too fast. Is there anything more summery than driving too fast?"
Listen to the mix, and read along with his annotations, here.
