Yesterday, Odd Future figurehead Tyler, The Creator dropped a mixtape of “An Hour Mix Of Songs That I Like To Listen To, That Reminds Me Of Summer Back Home.” Well, in the spirit of the season and taking into consideration that everyone needs some good tunes for the summer, The Wedge has assembled a compilation of songs that exude warm vibes and good times.

We won’t get all teary-eyed and nostalgic like Tyler did. Instead of a reminder, here are 20 of the best summery tracks to get a 2011 release. Feel free to right click, download and turn this into your own iTunes playlist. These have all previously appeared on blogs that for our better judgment are somewhat legit. (We think.)

“Summer Luv” tracklist:

1. Battles “Ice Cream”
2. Unknown Mortal Orchestra “How Can U Luv Me”
3. Best Coast “Gone Again”
4. Fucked Up “The Other Shoe”
5. Bleached “Think Of You”
6. Eleanor Friedberger “My Mistakes”
7. Ty Segall “You Make The Sun Fry”
