The last seven days have been one giant roller coaster ride of emotions. The excitement over our interview with Bonnaroo founder Ashley Capps and the numerous summer festivals that dished out their 2010 bills this week soon subsided after we learned of the untimely deaths of Jay Reatard and Teddy Pendergrass. But then there’s our weekly Friday Mixtape, which always puts us in a good mood. After all, as always, we get to present you with the week’s best new mix of singles, remixes, and covers as well as mp3s from some acts you should check out. Talk about ending the week on a positive note!
