The clover under your feet is shooting stars in the night
The people under your feet are shooting stars in the night
The people, all that you meet, they're living in a dreamworld

In Hollywood, the skies come alive
In Hollywood, your fears come out to play

So I walk right up to you
And you walk all over me
And I ask you what you want
And you tell me what you need

To find a queen without a king,
They say she plays guitar and cries and sings... la la la
Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn
Tryin' to find a woman who's never, never, never been born

it's over, 2012. and that's beautiful, and that's sad, and that's amazing. these are songs that capture all of those things, and they drop me right in that moment of moving on and looking back all at once. a few shameless guilty pleasures, a few classics, a little something for everyone...except for the vitamin c song. or that green day song. i draw the line there.
My heart is yearnin'
But Paris is burnin'
Paris is burnin' all night long
My heart is dreamin'
But Paris is screamin'
Paris is screamin' all night long

your clothes should be off before you press play. complex beats and beautiful, deep sounds for the intellectual sexologist. for round two or three or four, and the long kiss until sunrise.
Hey, I said you were Godless then
It seems like you're a soulless friend.
As thoughtless as you were back then,
I swear that you are Godless.

This is the summer to hang out with your friends, or the person you like and could love by fall. For sneaking out, sleeping in, dancing, go camping, take a dip. Smoke some weed, hit repeat.(: cheers to an EPIC FUCKING SUMMER!
our friends dancing drunk in the kitchen, you and me sharing a beer on the fire escape, cigarette butts everywhere, no plans and no futures and no problems
Now you say you're leavin' home
'Cause you want to be alone.
Ain't it funny how you feel
When you're findin' out it's real?
Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons,
You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain
Though you're thinking that
You're leaving there too soon,
You're leaving there too soon.

music from the amc hit "mad men." hours of drinking, smoking, sexing, and selling ads. oh, and admiring joan's impeccable physique. i will be updating this as season five continues, so check back in...
*shit may or may not be limited to studying, writing, thesising, reading, memorizing, working out, running, battling orcs who are trying to enter your stronghold, smashing injustice, or anything along those lines.
you know that casual hookup that turns out to be so much more then lust. this is the mix for that. 13 tracks, including The glitch mob, Massive attack, and Lana Del Rey.
mash-ups and remixes that feature lana del rey, h8rs to the left. sure, she sounds like cats mating in a tin can, but these versions make her music lush and fresh and even...epic? whatever you were in the mood for today, this mix is it. each track is a totally different spin on her singles, from dubstep to hip-hop mashup.
I don't wanna have to shout it out
I don't want my hair to fall out
I don't wanna be filled with doubt
I don't wanna be a good boy scout
I don't wanna have to learn to count
I don't wanna have the biggest amount
I don't wanna grow up

Let's just try to have a marvelous time this weekend.
I mean not try to analyze everything to death for once, if possible.
Especially me. I love you.

taking it to the next level? this mix won't teach you how to undo her bra but it will still get you laid. special thanks to dubstep that makes you want to rip your clothes off and start humping. i am really fucking over dubstep but i can't deny that some tracks are just perfect for lapdances. find a hot partner, get consent, and practice safe listening.
don't even front because you fucking did. shoutout to class of 2008. before you were a hipster, before there was such a thing as a hipster, back when you were just an emo in a band t-shirt or a death cab fan in flannel or a prep in hollister or some other inane stereotype. yeah, those years. bask in the memories, friends.
If you think that a kiss is all in the lips
C'mon
You got it all wrong, man
And if you think that our dance was all in the hips
Oh well
Then do the twist
The White Stripes
Spoon
The Dandy Warhols
because if you're like me, you've already exhausted your tracklists for getting down and dirty. part one of a new sex music series that is guaranteed to get you laid. turn this shit on and you don't even NEED game...

Here comes that girl
A-walkin' down the street
See how she walks
She got the dancin' feet
Thick wavy hair
Just a little too long
And all day long
She's a-singin' her song
When I see her in the street
My heart takes a leap
And skips a beat
Elvis Costello

So bring me monsters and I will slay them
God I used to feel like I could fly over time
Where it’s all gone I don’t know
You need to lift before you throw
And anyway you’re throwing sand

Cry. Kick. Scream. Break down. Beg for mercy, it's a broken heart that we're dealing with. --
Memory will rust and erode into lists of all that you gave me:
a blanket, some matches, this pain in my chest, the best parts of lonely...
I'll sing it from my roof top, I'll sing it from the bus stop, I'll sing it on the street drunk to a cop... but I ain't gonna lose you.
Sometimes I feel like I still don't know you
After all the stupid stuff that we've been through
How many horror movies that we sat through
How many sour-patch kids, how many liters of Mountain Dew

if the next series of skins took place at a women's college in pennsylvania and featured a cast of loveable queer kids doing crazy shit. follows in the skins episode format of "day in the life"...waking up, partying hard, falling in love, the moody cigarettes that follow...all the good stuff. i tried to go for sounds that fit with the "skins" musical aesthetic so if you dig the show and brand new music you'll dig this mix.
"this is the last song that i write while still in love with you" Letting go is harder then when they say goodbye, but its time to find blue skies, and sadly move on. including tracks by Leonard Cohen, a fine frenzy, and of course Noah And The whale.
It's pounded in my brain often enough
Asleep and awake in the drowsy fantasy moment in every lonely dawn
Oh it's just the sudden realization, you see here, of the matter that I love you

If you were looking for something to sleep to then you are in luck you are in the right place. If you weren't looking for something to sleep to then you are also in luck because the best things are found when you aren't looking for them.
Fifteen tracks I would have no problem falling asleep to and never waking up including music by Band Of Horses, Bon Iver and Bright Eyes.
Step 1) Turn off the lights
Step 2) Press Play (most important step)
Step 3) Place head on pillow
Step 4) Listen
Step 5) Sleep

Step 1) Turn off the lights
