hello, october mixtape

This month's mix is 100% paired with this new, darker, fall weather. This isn't a negative thing... but when I got up this morning, looked out the window, sighed, poured a coffee, and made a mix to match the mood. Lots of great stuff like +/-, Kings of Leon, and Mount Eriee. Either way:

As always, it's a limited time thing. Giddy up.

i married in the sun...

Guess what... despite what it may seem, this blog isn't dead. I've just been away and been busy... really busy. Tk and I got married a week ago, far away, in the sun. It was 100% awesome. As a guy, I never thought I'd gushingly describe a wedding as "awesome"... but it really was. Sure people tend to fixate on things like table cloths, custom vows, or how pretty the bride was (she was flawlessly pretty b.t.w)... but the thing that blew me away was the overwhelmingly positive energy of having most of my close friends and family in the room. I've never experienced anything like that.

I was gonna write up a massive post on the whole thing, but I'm bagged... turns out planning a party for 85 people over a period of 6 months is draining.

Since this is a faux-music blog I should point out the songs used highlighted during the day:

Wedding Party entrance at the ceremony: Jose Gonzalez - Heartbeats

Bride entrance at the ceremony: Bright Eyes - First Day Of My Life

Song played as pronounced married: Grand Archives - Torn Blue Foam Couch

First dance: New Pornographers - Go Places

Also, yes, I owe you a mixtape. Also, I've gotta integrate my tumblr account with the dot com site since that's where I'm spending a lot of my time posting. All of this very soon. Patience is sexy.
