A tune for every season
I like to think certain music fits best during certain seasons. So, in this Indian summer, perhaps it's time for me to revisit the Manic Street Preachers' "Send Away the Tigers".

Mixtape Take 2: Spacing out
I have consulted once again with the music appreciation committee to bring together a mixtape with the theme of "spacing out". Drug use implications aside, the music is meant to give one a feeling of weightlessness, allowing one's mind to wander, leaving the body still and relaxed - possibly in a reclined position. The idea for this mixtape came to me at the close of a difficult winter quarter. While listening to "Asleep From Day" by the Chemical Brothers, I experienced a strong feeling of relaxation, and I wished to share this feeling with others.

No matter how dark this city gets…
One of my lifelong dreams was fulfilled this weekend. A check has been placed in the box beside one of the items on my figurative list of things to do before I die. I feel that, were I to go to sleep tonight and never wake up again, my life up till now would have been worth it thanks to the events of last Friday and Saturday. I got to see the Protomen perform both acts of their Megaman-inspired rock opera with my friends Jeremy and Devin. It was glorious, epic, and amazing.

The Valentine’s Day mixtape for single folks
After consulting with a music-savvy team of shy romantics, I have selected 15 songs for those of you who plan to spend Valentine's Day on your own. The selection reflects my own musical tastes, but as a perpetual third wheel, I feel my experience on the subject should support the choices that I have made. So queue up the playlist get comfortable with a warm blanket and a nice book - and maybe a box of tissues and some junk food.
