has flown by.
almost too quickly. but despite being busy, i have enjoyed myself. summer is coming. i'm already out of class but the weather hasn't been full blown summer.. yet. but now we're nearing the end of may and those 80 degree days are becoming evermore common.
it's wonderful. life in general would be wonderful despite "work" and "problems" and the usual junk. but who wants to hear about that?
i'm going to busy as fuck this weekend.. but in a good way for once. SO to anyone who doesn't know, and that may (or may not) be intereted- my band THE KODAKS are playing this saturday at the belmont in hamtramck. click that last link there for deets. but fyi- i'm playing with a whole new lineup. mitch green is playing drums and i'm just saying- the dude can play. so, let's hope it goes well..
nOw! moving on. this mix. is intense. it's long. it's up, it's down. but every song (in chronological order haha) pretty much describes my week. there's going to be no posting in the next couple of days, so i figure i would let anyone who is going to be enjoying warm weather this weekend enjoy it with great music. summer fun, music in the sun. right?
outside has been inspiring me lately. just the idea of "outside".. despite everyone (including me) being poor as shit and always bitching about it, michigan is a beautiful place to live in the (late) spring.
green everywhere. fresh air. blue skies... when you're slightly away from detroit that is haha
anyways, enough words. as a wise friend JUST said to me- "less talk, more walk". so i'm going to do the real thing and stop just talking and... well... JUST DO IT. so yeah, forewarning: this mix is as excentric as my typing is right now. i guess i'm just happy lately. i feel alive.. !!!
hence all the (old school) rap, the variety of indie pop, random slow songs and other strange assortments from all over history. friends have been influencing my music lately- and i'm okay with that.. cause i still get my own picks.. the new wolf parade (GHOST PRESSURE) is amazing. and also- i know this is a long playlist- but the newest track by toro y moi is stupid good.. and it's completely different from anything off his debut. genius.
just as long as everyone enjoys this playlist, i'm okay with whatever. so HeRe wE GO
