Good night!

P.S. This might be the songs, I’d be bumping to if I’m still living in LA. So in some way, this is a tribute. It’s also an excuse to include Power Trip in a mix.

Signs

    Thom: Who are you talking about?
    Nick: Right now, Norah. No, Tris. Tris.
    Thom: You just haven’t figured it out yet, have you.
    Nick: What?
    Thom: The big picture!
    Nick: I guess not.
    Thom: The Beatles.
    Nick: What about them?
    Thom: This. [grabs Nick’s hand] Look, other bands, they want to make it about sex or pain, but you know, The Beatles, they had it all figured out, okay? “I Want to Hold Your Hand.” The first single. It’s effing brilliant, right?… That’s what everybody wants, Nicky. They don’t want a twenty-four-hour hump sesh, they don’t want to be married to you for a hundred years. They just want to hold your hand.

A mix inspired by this fortune cookie passage that my friend, Kevin found in a subway in New York and the film, Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist.

Call it a mix that has progression as it narrates the admission of feelings with the hopes that those feelings will be reciprocated.

I wanted a mix that builds up until the last track so I was extremely careful with the transition and how linear the songs would go as if telling an actual story from the point of view of the secret admirer. If you can’t say what you feel, then let the music speak.

01. Nick & Thom - Intro (The Big Picture)
02. The Dig - Break The Silence
03. The Kooks - Taking Pictures of You

Right by the ocean
Made all our plans
Down on the sand”

I stared into the condensation forming on the outside of my cold beverage while I tried to disregard this unceasing heat surrounding me. I had a sudden impulse to make a summer playlist reminiscent of my Beat The Heat mix from last year.

This mix includes some of my current favorite indie tracks, a very short thrill much like summer flings. Here’s something you can dance to or play on your next roadtrip! Enjoy!

Float On

Bad news comes, don’t you worry even when it lands
Good news will work its way to all them plans
Well, we’ll float on, good news is on the way

Sometimes, we just need reassurance that everything will be okay. I’ve been curating this mix for the past week to ease my mind off things and to send some positivity my way. It also helped me focus on what is really important. Allons-y!

01. Peter Bjorn And John - Nothing To Worry About
02. Modest Mouse - Float On
03. Miike Snow - The Wave
04. Spoon - The Way We Get By

08. The Ettes - Take It With You

Sending some good vibes on your way!

P.S. I made the album cover using apps from my mobile (Snapseed & Shape’d). It was pretty awesome! If you’re wondering what’s the significance of this photo, it was my go-to spot during the afternoons in The Valley where I would just sip on my latte and dream of the things I want in life.

This Valentine’s Day, I’m going a little bit unorthodox. I’ve making mixes about love, finding love and to make something different, I decided to make a mix about unrequited love which for me is that saddest of them all since the feeling is not reciprocated. So on this day, I will just wallow on this and you are free to join me. Lonely Hearts Club, right?
