Snowblink - Blue Moon
I can not stress how great this cover of Blue Moon is. It’s just absolutely beautiful.
If you’re a fan of bands like Broken Social Scene, Stars, Feist or any other band from the Arts & Crafts label, then buy this compilation album. It has songs from all(?) of the bands that Arts & Crafts have signed, including some songs that (I think) hadn’t been released before, like Deathcock, which I think I posted a few weeks ago.
But yeah, buy the album.

Vivaldi - Four Seasons
So it’s been 2 years since I first started this blog and, surprisingly, I’ve managed to amass a small group of followers. Now I don’t really understand what a lot of people mean when they say that their follows are their real best friends and they love them etc. because, quite frankly, I don’t really talk to any of you guys and vice versa. But what I really think they mean is that it’s just nice to have some people who take even just a fraction of their time to listen to what you have to say.
I think I started this thing out of bordom and frustration at the fact that no one around me listened to what I listened to. At the beginning I tried to keep a schedule, also trying to find new music and new bands which has developed into a healthy obsession about finding as much as I can about music. But I’m lazy, and sometimes, as many of you know, I wouldn’t post for days on end; one time I didn’t put up new content for a month. But even through all that, most of you decided to stick around, to wait for when I could be bothered again and that’s very flattering. So I hope that we’ll keep growing larger, one follower at a time, and that the rest of you will stay and continue to be patient because I am really freaking lazy.
I don’t really know where I’m going with this because I’m just saying the thoughts that I’m thinking but I guess what I’m trying to say is thank you. Thank you for being bothered to stick around and listen and like what music I put up. Because all I really want is to connect to another person on a less arbitrary level than ‘we go to the same school’ or ‘we’re from the same city’. To connect to someone who I’d probably never even meet in person, but who I would have a bond with that transcends geographical location. To be intertwined with another human being on a deeper emotional level through music and song.
So I picked this song because I think it reflects the passage of time and really makes a statement about…
Ah whatever, you know what I’m trying to say.

Funfact 1: I timed this so that this would also be the 500th post
Funfact 2: I accidentally deleted the original post and didn’t have it saved anywhere so I had to write it all again from memory
Chance the Rapper - Juice
Solid track. Check out the rest of the mixtape, it’s very very good.

Milk Coffee & Sugar - Café Zèbre
My friend just introduced me to this French jazz influenced hip hop group. Reminds me a lot of Nujabes, and that’s a very good thing.

Murder by Death - As Long As There is Whisky In the World
I’m quite disappointed that I couldn’t find a version where the song Kentucky Bourbon, which precedes this song in the actual album (Good Morning, Magpie), is also included but what can you do.

That Summer Vibe, Part 2.
My second shot at a summer mix.
