I love a good mix. I have a friend that sends a group of us a yearly "friends mix" CD, which is pretty much a lovely mix of what she's been digging lately, and I always look forward to it. And Tiffany sends me amazing mixes regularly. I have to say that over 50% of the new music I'm exposed to is through her, and I thank her for that. Bottom line: I LOVE music and getting a mix of it makes me very happy.
Anyway, my point is...I'm making a quick mix on the ipod for our up coming trek to Montreal this week and I would be stoked if you let me know what you're listening to right now. And I listen to everything, I mean everything...so please leave your pick.
I'm not sure I will get another post up before I leave...so I hope you all have a wonderful labor day weekend! I will be back next week with a delicious giveaway!

I got HOOKED on Broken Bells when I was in the Bahamas, now it makes me think back to that trip happily!
ReplyDeleteIf you haven't already, check out...
-Broken Bells
-The XX
-Angus & Julia Stone (this is a long time fav for me but they are getting bigger in North America now, listen to just a boy & beast to get an idea)
Have a fun trip, and eat a pain au chocolat for me! I LOVE mtl!
oh ps.... another song to listen to (there are many though) jewels and gold. and if you happen to like them, they are playing there first show in boston next month. we saw them at hotel cafe here in LA two years and they were great and are still in small venues which is nice!
ReplyDeleteI've been listening to a lot of Best Coast. Really into their muffled tunes with a 50s flair. But if I HAD to recommend just one song, I'd suggest:
ReplyDeleteFoster The People - Pumped Up Kicks.
You MUST end your Summer to that song. Such a feel gooder.
PS - I started giving my friends a mix cd a few months back and they absolutely loved it. Working on my next one.
Lately I've been listening to a lot of Joe Purdy, Passion Pit and Mumford and Sons; have a wonderful trip to Montreal!!
ReplyDeleteI know your trip has come to an end but for what it's worth, here was my summer mix:
