Fred Armisen’s summer playlist

The World

This week, SNL’s Fred Armisen gives us his idea of the ultimate summer playlist. When it comes to summer tracks, he says it’s all about the tempo. The music has to be either really upbeat or slow enough to elicit memories of our long hot summers of the past.
