Despite having nearly 18,000 songs in my music collection, I’m always looking for new tunes.  I already have "Mykonos" by Fleet Foxes and highly recommend it.  The lilting, breezy beat and fine harmonies are a bit reminiscent of Crosby, Stills and Nash; it’s a great summer tune.

Expiration Date: 8/30/2009
