The meanings have changed, but the memories remain the same

I’ve been thinking a lot about my past mixtapes recently. I haven’t posted all of the mixtapes that I’ve made, but that’s starting to change as of late because mixtapes are becoming a bigger part of my life. Looking through my archives, I realized that I never finished writing all the memories that were associated [...]

August ‘08 Mixtape

For once, this mixtape is relatively on time.
There’s a lot about this mixtape that I love; it’s a bit upbeat, but I threw in some songs that don’t seem to really fit, like “Always Love” by Nada Surf. One of my favorite songs on this mix is “Hoppipolla” by Sigur Ros. It’s one of [...]

July ‘08 Mixtape

This is late but most of my mixtapes usually are. I happen to consider this a pretty good mixtape, since I’m still able to listen to it two months after making it.
Tracklist

The Start of Something - Voxtrot
Where We Gonna Go From Here - Mat Kearney
Henney Buggy Band - Sufjan Stevens
Dancing In A Minefield - Plushgun
Shake [...]

June ‘08 Mixtape

I’m usually on the ball with these, but this one is late, really late. Yay for working too much and hanging out with friends. It’s summer…so what do you expect? Also, July’s will be posted within the week too. Because that one is late as well, albeit, not as late.
Instead of doing the downloads by [...]

May ‘08 Mixtape

This month’s mixtape came about without a theme. This one was a lot harder to put together than April’s. Lisa suggested that we do a theme for May, which was all set to be “Shake Up, The Break Up”, however, it didn’t seem right to do that once I started dating again. Also, who really [...]

April ‘08 Mixtape

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted up a mixtape and I figured since I was making one for Mandy, I might as well post it up here and share it with everyone else. Usually I post mixtapes that revolve around a theme, however, this one doesn’t. Not really anyway.
These are all songs that I [...]

Turn The Radio Up Mixtape

Lisa and I were trying to decide the theme for this month’s mixtape, when Ness chimed in with this great idea. This month’s mixtape is all about songs that make you turn the radio up really loud, get you pumped, or you just have to sing along to. And in my case, sometimes [...]

The Beginning of Summer Mixtape

Well, I announced this over a week ago and this was supposed to be up this past Monday, but due to some unforeseen situations, it had to be delayed. Lisa was a good girl and got hers up on time. You should check it out.
These songs aren’t necessarily “summer songs”, but [...]

Mixtape #1: Memories

Update: I’ll link to the posts that talk about the memories behind the songs.  I’ve only written one…yesterday.
This is my first mixtape. Download it and love it. Each of the following tracks holds a special place in my heart. They are either directly connected to, or remind me of, a person, memory, [...]
