(And by on time I mean I posted it on the 22nd of the month which is when I intend to post these charts.)

    Next month marks one year of me doing these charts. Look for a post in the next couple of weeks with some stats on the charts (most frequently charting artist! most frequently charting DJ!) and a best-of chart for the first year (one track from each month).

    This month is, of course, full of awesome:

    Bonus: You can now see/hear all of these in a YouTube playlist: July 2010 Chart YouTube Playlist.

    Two moments immediately came to mind, though I’m sure there are many more (and would love input from others):

    First, of course, is the end scene of Happy Together. Without spoiling much, it”s just a very lonely time in the movie and Danny Chung’s cover of “Happy Together” by the Turtles with its happy lyrics and tone makes the loneliness of the film that much stronger.

    The first time I encountered this happy vs. sad juxtaposition was Michael Moore‘s Roger and Me. Toward the end there is a scene where Moore shows the economically depressed Flint, MI and plays it against the Beach Boy’s “Wouldn’t It Be Nice.”

    Granted, both “Happy Together” and “Wouldn’t It Be Nice” have a slight sadness to them, the way they work with the scenes in both films takes the tiny bit of melancholy and multiplies it by a thousand.

Tons of tracks to make up for it… Not as many remixes this time — lots of original versions of songs. Weird, eh?

I was in Las Vegas earlier this week when I normally post (the 22nd of each month). See if you can spot the Vegas-inspired track in this mix.

    Frankly, I think this is one of the better charts lately. Some really great tracks in here.

I’d like to say that there is something special about this chart since it was posted on my birthday, but alas, it’s just another chart of great music — nothing extraordinary about it. Enjoy!

This is the first of three music-related posts. Coming soon: Music 2009 and Music 2000s.

    Some notes:
    I recently watched Mama Mia! so that’s why Lay All Your Love On Me was included. Who knew I was a huge Abba fan?! I started loving Memories when Kid Cudi performed it live when I saw him in early December. I heard Fascination in the Ugly Betty episode “The Bahamas Triangle.” Finally, I find it odd/disturbing the remixes of both (Don’t Fear) The Reaper and No Time come from compilations that were created so that Bacardi (for Reaper) and Scion automobiles (No Time) could connect with the “young, cool” kids…
