sometimes when i share music it can be hella emo or at least really cerebral and pensive. so i tried to stay away from that with this mix and go for songs that hook me in and are happy. if you like just one song or two that you’ve never heard before, if it makes you happy or you can add it to a workout mix, then i’ve succeeded! yayyy october, home of random hot days and walking around crunching leaves! -love, nata
p.s. i learned about myself that i love songs with crescendo
p.p.s. if you ever want to send me non emo music directly do it at mexicanjumpingmean@Gmail.com
1. “Till I get there” by Lupe Fiasco.
2. “in for the kill” by major lazer/la roux. (i forgot i love this song then i heard it at the end of an entourage episode. ha! lamest reason for its reenrty into my life ever, but fuckit i love this song)
3. “graves” by p.o.s. (“you didn’t get mature, you got tame - they ain’t the same”)
4. “i can change” by lcd soundsystem (this song makes me happy, every time)
5. “slow show” by the national
6. “contrails” by astronautalis (featuring tegan quinn) (the “thats why i wrote this song” part gets in my head ALL THE TIME these days. also astronautalis is on tour find him at a city near you)
7. “ronald reagan era” by kendrick lamar (love when he goes “woop woop de woop woop” and “whoa. whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa.”)
8. “repetition” by tv on the radio
9. “i’ll kill her” by cee-lo (i wanted to put this song, “fool for you”, but figured you all knew it already)
10. “she’s so up” by the knux. (free daytrotter session here: http://www.daytrotter.com/dt/the-knux-concert/20054985-3738512.html. i had “relations” to it once and it was a good time)
11. the beauty within, by dead prez (i also wanted to put this song, “hell yeah”, which i know all the words to. tough choice)
12. “forget” by twin shadow. (love this song. just saw him live, with the band Diamond Rings. recommend both)
13. “N. Splendor/Find Out,” by Shabazz Palaces (i think this is two songs. at about 3:20- “find out who you are and see it, find out what you are and free it, find out who you love and need it, find out what you can’t and be it, thats whats up thats whats up thats whats up thats whats up”)
14. “i wanna get next to you” by rose royce (also recommend this gem, wishin on a star)

Not the opposite of emo. Pretty closely related... if not identical.
ReplyDeleteThat said, congrats, you're on a whole 'nother level. Solid playlist.
