Choice Cuts: Summer and Fall Playlists

A Franklin Avenue reader reminded me during the Great LA Walk that I hadn't posted any "Choice Cuts" playlists in a while. My bad -- I had still been making the mixes, but hadn't gotten around to actually posting them. So here you go -- November, and our end of year "Best of" mix are still to come. Go to our Choice Cuts website for a full list of playlists going back to 2001.
