Summer Cuts 11

Every year the Summer Guide elimination process results in albums and albums worth of track casualties. It's funny how I kind of view the songs I come across as if they're people, imagining them with hopes and dreams of making Summer Guide 11, and picturing their devastation when the almighty let's them know, "I'm sorry, but you're just not Summer Guide material."

But there's a glimmer of hope and consolation as the voice continues to talk to some of the more talented applicants, "We do, however, think you'd sound good on our Summer Cuts compilation ... a collection of rawer and chunkier tracks that wouldn't be appropriate all types of listeners." And the song jumps and shouts and sings in jubilation!
