This mix is about 2010. Each song does have a special place in my heart for one reason or another.
1) ....And the hazy sea - Cymbals Eat Guitars
In the beginning of the year I went on an amazing road trip with two of my housemates and even though we didn't listen to this song at the time. It just reminds me of that trip and summer and being happy.
2) Swimmers - Broken Social Scene
Tram rides to and from work and to and from a new studio space. Sewing and sweating. Getting cranky and listening to this. Planning trips to far off lands.
3) Odessa - Caribou
Autumn setting in.
4) Say it ain't so - Weezer
Drunken sing alongs in various locations.
5) A Sunday Smile - Beirut
Being walked to the tram stop on a cold winter morning and not caring that I hated my job and the morning commute. Listening to this and feeling content
6) Excuses - The Morning Benders
It's about sex. And lovin'. And has great harmonies. I like all of these.
7) Winter's Love - Animal Collective
8) Bicycle - Memory Tapes
Hey Japan! I like your mountains.
9) Master of None - Beach House
It was raining, I was walking along the yarra quite early in the morning, there were tears and I was listening to this album on repeat.
I remember thinking how perfect all these elements were together.
10) Give him a great big kiss - The Shangri-las
Dancing to this in my loungeroom with three male friends really wasted after Spanish Festival. I was told to never tell repeat the story.
11) Once in a Lifetime - Talking Heads
Making life decisions while listening to David Byrne.
Love you David!
12) Tyrant Destroyed - Twin Shadow
Another rainy moment....
13) Death of the Party - Blur
Deciding to move to London so I can marry Graham Coxon.
And that was 2010....
