[playlist] Listen to the Phoenix's Summer Music Preview on Spotify

Summer is a time for roadtrips: windows rolled down, wind in your hair, AC malfunctioning, a few friends and a destination. But what really makes a roadtrip are the tunes: a soundtrack for while you're on the road to nowhere, running down a dream, and/or realizing that life is a highway (and you're going to ride it all night long). We've picked some of your favorite tunes to make the miles go by a little quicker.

Plus, if you haven't already, check out the comprehensive summer guide, complete with a list of shows across New England that you must see before the leaves start to turn auburn. And if you aren't able to scrounge up the gas money to attend each of these concerts in person, no sweat. We've got your back. Or rather, we have compiled a great new Spotify playlist, a Summer Preview featuring everything from Drake to Fiona Apple to the Boss himself. Also included are the stylings of M83, J Cole, Off!, Cake, Two Door Cinema Club, and many more.  

So kick back, crank up the tunes, and make sure to sunbathe properly.
