Thursday Night Mix

It's almost the weekend! Chill out from a long week with this mix.
Enjoy the music :)



An Horse - Horizons by anhorse

Dial-Tone Disconnect

For all of the phone calls that you tried to make, wanted to make, or never received, here's a mix about phones.
Enjoy the music :)










Misophone is a relatively recent addition to my music library. They sound best if the volume is relatively low, as the vocals for the majority of their songs have a "unique" quality to them. Despite the title, this song is actually quite enjoyable.

7 Things I Know for Sure

1) Tomorrow isn't promised.
2) Speak softly when you want to use harsh words, because you might have to eat them later (soft words help with the chewing.)
3) Never tell someone to leave if you know in your heart it's the last thing you want.
4) Quesadillas from the Jay's after 10 pm will give you heartburn.
5) Sometimes you have to lose everything to realize what you do have.
6) Maybe not knowing everything about yourself is a good thing. It leaves room to grow, and gives you a reason to have new experiences to figure out what you're made of.

And the seventh thing? I know nothing for sure, because as number one suggests, tomorrow, as with anything in life, is not promised.

Live from Philadelphia... Manchester Orchestra

So last night, my adventures included seeing Manchester Orchestra with a friend at the Theater of the Living Arts in the always lively city of Brotherly Love.
This mix is brought to you by two of the opening bands: Harrison Hudson of Nashville, Tennessee, and An Horse from Australia. Yes, they are from Australia. Of course, this mix would not be complete without a few select songs from the headliner, Manchester Orchestra.
Enjoy the music :)

( I do apologize for the Harrison Hudson "widgets": you have to toggle with them a bit before they'll play. Try clicking the play button a couple of times, or sliding the little time marker over until it says "buffering" and then move it back to the start of the song. That's the trouble with these indie people, they never have decent Youtube clips! haha.)

Last Days and New Beginnings

The more I try to study, the more blog posts I write. Perhaps I should study more regularly and maybe my posts would be less sporadic.
I read this quote, and I thought I'd share:

“Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes… the ones who see things differently — they’re not fond of rules… You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things… they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.” ~Steve Jobs

I like that idea. As I spend my last full day here at school (I'm in the library no less), I hope you have a summer to remember. I hope that you accomplish everything you want to do, not purely because you want to do it, but because it will better you or further you in some way, in an attempt to bring you closer to who you truly are.

Enjoy the music :)

See You Soon

Only two more days until I'm on the way back to where I'm from. It's funny when you leave home for a while; you grow so much internally that you don't quite fit back into your old bedroom. Like you're juxtaposed among the clothes, magazines, and stuff that's supposed to be yours, but you don't quite recognize it anymore. You pick up the pictures on the dresser from days gone by and you smile a bit like it's all a half-remembered dream.

Finals Cram Jam

Yes, I'm procrastinating. I have a final this week, not to mention several end-of-term papers due, but I love this study mix so much, I just wanted to share it with all of you. Could making other people's days better be considered procrastination? I would think not :)
