Stay Young, Go Dancing: Summer 2011 mix
(FYI, this is a public entry)
Ah, so here we are at the end of summer, but it doesn't matter, because for the first time in my life the only difference between August and September is a few degrees in temperature. It's going to be weird not going back to school. It started setting in on Friday. I went to campus to hang out with some friends who moved in early, but the thing that got me was seeing a new bus stop. Every semester there's always new things on campus, like a building that's been renovated. And it made me realize that campus isn't going to stay the same as it did when I graduated, it's going to keep changing. And this year campus is going to be different, and I won't be a part of it, but my friends will. :( I am lucky that campus is close to my apartment, and even closer to my office, but it'll be very interesting to see how this fall semester goes.
So, in honor of the end of summer, I put together a summer mix, as I tend to every year. My music taste has been so weird lately. It's about half of my usual indie music (highly influenced by the fast that there's a new Death Cab album this summer), a few throwback songs, a fair bit of super nerdy songs, and some awful pop songs. I don't think I've talked about it on here, but I've been extremely forgiving of my enjoyment of pop in the past few months. I've gotten to the point that I completely adore Taylor Swift unironically. Oh dear.
Anyway, here's the mix:
