Funny / Not Funny Records is proud to announce the fourth installment of the reformatted Label Mixtape Series. If you missed the previous months head over to our 8tracks site where they are archived and will be available long after the download links expire. Like in the name, 8tracks only allows you to upload 8 tracks at a time and this month the mix comes from Super Vacation member, John Fogerty Impersonator, Preacher of the good word, Mr. Bladen Day. His involvement in the label comes with our latest release, a split record between his band The Super Vacations and Eternal Summers, entitled “The Mystic Fortress Sessions Vol. 1”.  Head over to our store and pick up a copy, you will not be disappointed.

Track Information:

1. The Hunches - Swim Hole
A lighter track from these weirdos. Even freaks need the healing waters on a hot summer day.

2. Fleetwood Mac - The Ledge
I wanted to do an all Fleetwood Mac mixtape, but this site wouldn’t let me. Here’s one of Buckingham’s coked-out basement bangers from Tusk.

3. Crushed Butler - Love Is All Around Me
Pretty flowery lyrics for such a heavy track. I’m okay with it. It’s summertime.

4. Eat Forever - Real Cops
36 seconds!!!

5. Spratleys Japs - Vine
I put this on because I think it sounds like a more theatrical Invisible Hand from the UK.

6. John Williams - Jurassic Park Theme
Chris Foster-Baril put some classical shit on his mix so I had to one up him.

7. Silver Pines - Travelin’ Bones
I wish these guys were playing at the healing waters all the time.

8. Flying Burrito Brothers - Older Guys
Just a real fun tune, ya know?

Here is just a sample of the nice things some have said about this release:

…a brand new treat by the wonderful Roanoke, Virginia psych pop group Eternal Summers, taken from their forthcoming split 7 inch Mystic Fortress Sessions Vol. 1 together with fellow Virginian garage outfit The Super Vacations, to be released August 2 via Funny / Not Funny Recordings. [The track] On My Honor expectedly captures simple and good vibrations for tonight’s lush barbecue, perfectly sundrenched melodies for sing-alongs and happy endings.
