Kathryn Akers Local Music Journalist In honor of the summer solstice, I’ve curated a summer playlist with the help of my coworkers, the lifeguards of Texas State Aquatics.

By Jennifer Romero Music Journalist As an avid music tracker and someone obsessed with Spotify’s yearly wrapped, I love being able to recounter what I have been actively listening to. For this purpose I use Last.fm, an app that tells you your top artist, albums and tracks for the past 7, 30, 90, 180 or 365 days.
