July 5, 2013 – Summer Music Special

Friends, you might have noticed recently that the sun’s been shining and the temperature has been rising, which, along with people talking about “bikini season” is an indication that summer is now firmly upon us.  To honor this, (and because we need a break from talking about E3), we’ve decided to bust out another music special, this time it’s summer themed!  We’ve crafted this show to be the perfect soundtrack if you’re taking a road trip, spending a day at the beach, or sharing ice cream with that special someone.  So tune in, turn on, and let The Arcade be your soundtrack to the summer!
