Mix Tape

When I was a senior in high school my student teacher, Mr Floyd, made me a cd and it is to this day the greatest I have ever been given. I recently discovered the track list and I'm going to share it with you all now. 

(I know it isn't a mix 'tape'....but I grew up make mix tapes off of the radio, so I'm stick with the name.) 

Enjoy! 

 

Everything in its right place: Radiohead

Somewhere only we know: Keane

Let Go: Frou Frou

Green grass of tunnel: Múm

Such great heights: Iron and Wine

How to be dead: Snow Patrol

Neighbourhood 1(tunnels): Arcade Fire

Against all odds: The Postal Service

Song for the dumped: Ben Folds 5 

(Mr Floyd forgot that this song had swearing in it and told me not to let anyone know. I guess he could have gotten in trouble!)

Way down now: World Party

Song for dustmites: Steve Burns

Satan gave me a taco: Beck

Billy liar: The Decemberists

Stars of track and field: Belle and Sebastian

Yoshimi battles the pink robots part 1: The Flaming Lips 

(It makes me sad that I could get the official music video to post, because I really love it.) 

Anthems for a 17 year old girl: Broken Social Scene

All of that is so nostalgic for me! This might not be the "mix tape" I would make today, but its still really great. I've never made the greatest mixes because I have trouble picking just one song by a musician and I usually end up including more than one and to me that makes the whole mix just feel off if the same musician is featured twice. I hope you are all have a magnificent wednesday. -monica

Monday Monday

I just thought I would share a few things that I really like and that make me happy. Hopefully it'll help you have a good monday and keep you looking up through the week. (even though it's technically tuesday, whatever.)

Joe Dassin performing Les Champs-Elyée (I've loved this song since I watched The Darjeeling Limited)

I just love this. I'm going to have to make a button necklace this week!

These photos are just too beautiful!

A Few More Links: I recently found out of order design and I really love her blog and craftgawker is a wonderful was to find new blogs and projects if you're feeling crafty. I know its soon become a regular site for me. Have a great week and keep the peace! -monica
