summer 2009 in sarahphonic sound

so, i’ve been hearing this crazy rumor about summer being “over.” umm…

HAVE YOU GUYS BEEN OUTSIDE? cos SWEATY PANTS! that’s what’s outside!!!!!

not that i’m complaining, cos while the rest of the world has to pack away their swimsuits and their sweet summer nights of good times, i am still chillaxing to the MAX by the pool and going out at night WITHOUT A SWEATER, which is the height of luxury as far as i’m concerned.

even though this rumor is obvs a huge fat lie, it did serve to remind me that i really needed to get my pants together and create my summer 2009 mix! holla! after throwing down the gauntlet back in june, i’ve spent the summer collecting my favorite songs then playing them during any and all summer events and shrieking, “YOU GUYS I LOVE THIS SONG! LISTEN TO THIS PART!! ISN’T IT AWESOME?!!” [not to give away my methods BUT FYI this is my covert process of making my mix the Official Soundtrack Of the Summer, cos then when, say, "battlefield" comes on, henri will go, "GAH remember that summer where you made me listen to this awful song over and over again until i couldn't get 'GET YA ARMOR' out of my head?!!" and i'll be all, "i know, right?!! doesn't this song make it feel like that summer is still happening right now?!!" and then i will feel really proud of myself]

anyway!

it was actually really hard to get this mix down to cd-length, so i want to take a moment now to say RIP to passion pit, the dirty projectors, N.A.S.A. and john vanderslice. don’t worry, music, you’ll still live forever on my computer! until it crashes!

with that said, i think this is a pretty good representation of my summer (and yrs, if you hung out at all with me anywhere near an ipod dock), which means the songs range from dance party starters to raging rockers to “hey that’s pretty!” i don’t expect pants world to like everything, but, as with all my mixes, i hope you find at least one song or band that you really enjoy. cos then yay!

here’s the track list:

now go get this jam so you can listen to it, esp. cos IT’S STILL SUMMER! sshh! don’t tell canada!

p.s. let me know if the link doesn’t work and i’ll get you a copy.

p.p.s. the first song is not, uh, for the faint of heart. so… just keep that in mind. um yeah.
