I MISS SF Mix

The muggy weather makes me feel all melty. But I am also happy to be settling into my new job. And my life's pace is much slower now that school is 3 months away. So here is a fun playlist for you!

May nostalgia mix

I don't miss May but this is what I was listening to.

Mixtape Monday: Total Throwback

So I was feelin' "grimey", well it is reflected in the mixtape....you'll know what I mean when you listen. I was listening to a similar playlist in middle school. And the fact that these songs will date me one day is crazy! I will tell my children about Big Pun and Busta Rhymes like my mom told me about Nina Simone and Lena Horne (RIP). I bought a ton of clothes for my wardrobe and for the etsy. Pictures soon!

How do you feel about these mixtapes friends?

Life is beautiful, let's share a little.

Mixtape Monday: Tha Groove

So here is another diverse playlist. I just felt like dancing this morning so here you go! Let me know if you move are booty to this one. I am trying to hone my mixtape skills. It is another short one because the Fela Kuti song is 12 minutes. Don't worry it is worth the full 12 minutes.

This one's for G.

Hello everyone and good morning. Many moons ago I set out to make a 90s mixtape. This was first brought on by the girls over at Rebelle Zine going on and on about 90s music. The second inspiration came from providing a soundtrack to a club scene that took place in a play I directed late June. So that leads me to the mixtape project itself. After four heavy, and cubersome, torrents later I manufactured the peace de resistance of mixtapes. I like to call it: 90s Jammie Jams vol.1 . Just a note to make about the collage: I made it in tacky 90s clipart style on purpose. Anyone can indulge in this but this post is dedicated to G, no real reason really. I didn't think you could dedicate blog posts to fellow bloggers, but I just did! Any suggestions for another one? What about a fall theme. The collage will be much more kickass next time, scouts honor.
