Mixtapes are a sacred tradition in the Lush Life circle, and like any group of self-proclaimed music dorks, we just love to push our (hopefully good) taste on as many unsuspecting people as possible.  So, to continue the tradition, I've made our first official summer mixtape via muxtape.

Lush Life Muxtape: Constructive Summer (Volume 1)

This particular mix is named after the lead off track on both this muxtape and The Hold Steady's newest album, Stay Positive, which hits stores July 15.

If you can't get enough of "Constructive Summer," head over to The Hold Steady's Myspace where they're streaming the entire album in all of its positive glory.
