fall/winter in sarahphonic sound
even though texas FOOLISHLY INSISTS on remaining cold right now, winter is over as far as i’m concerned (did you hear that, freezing temperatures? WHY MUST YOU MOCK ME?!!). consequently, it’s time for my latest installment of seasonal mixes, aka what i’ve been listening to during these past few months aka my “high fidelity” version of a time capsule cos i have a horrible memory aka PLEASE ENJOY THIS MUSIC.
usually, my fall/winter mix is rather melancholy, cos, duh, that’s just how falling leaves and dark skies at 5 PM make you feel! this year’s edition definitely includes that general mood, but then those sad songs sort of get kicked in the pants by lady gaga and lil wayne. hello, let’s not forget that fall and winter include NEW YEAR’S EVE and there’s no room for any melancholy pants at my dance party! plus i need to move around a lot to stay warm (julian casablancas is practically like a snuggie to me now).
now, before you go hating on any of these songs, keep in mind that i strive to preserve an accurate account of my music experience. in other words, yes, i realize that “tik tok” has been overplayed to the point where i’d almost rather hear a black eyed peas song instead (I KNOW, THAT’S CRAZY), but i DID listen to it a lot in december, so i can’t omit it just cos it kind of annoys me now.
plus, if you don’t like any of the songs, you can delete them! this mix is now yrs to keep, play, dance with and/or heavily edit. so, i hope you enjoy it, and i especially hope that it makes the remainder of winter (PLEASE LET IT END SOON) a little less cold and a lot more pantstastic!

jon sent me and meredith this AMAZING ROBOT UNICORN GAME OMGGGG. just wait til you see what happens when you die (hint: IT’S AMAZING).
one minute of “just 3 boyz” has me convinced that “funny or die presents” is gonna be awesome. and also, weird.
if you’re not following the choose yr own adventure series on FYA, you are totally missing out on LIFE CHANGING EXCITEMENT and EARTH SHATTERING DECISIONS. and speaking of earth shattering, check out the peeta vs. gale debate that is currently keeping me up at night because i always thought i was team peeta and now maybe i’m leaning towards team gale and OMG WHAT DO THIS MEAN?

Thanks for the new tunes!
snow blows. but your mix is awesome. can’t wait to listen to it. love the avett brothers. just found out that they are my boss’s cousins.
You say that now, Sarah, but my retort to Henri is going to involve PHOTOS OF BAKED GOODS. So there!
I love yr winter mix! I’m totally downloading it!
(P.S. when I was in Russia in December, Tik Tok played on the music channel and every radio station like 15 times a day. Then I started believing that Kesha was actually Russian, but that is not true.)
Team Gale?! No!!
Thanks for the mix! Yay music!
Oh really, Erin, we’re bringing this fight to all corners of the blogosphere now? Bring. It.
Bring on your photos. I’ll just follow you with video of bacon dancing in grease.
And if I can’t find a video, I’ll totally drop animated GIFs into the game. YOU CAN’T FIGHT THE GIFS!!!
henri, you know i love bacon, but it’s just never gonna be as pretty as baked goods. animated gifs, however… WILL THEY SPARKLE?!!
as for the mix, lemme know if you hear something new that you like! then i can still feel hip and relevant even though i’m 30.
Your mix is mostly awesome, but that Tik Tok song makes me want to punch someone (not in a good way). I usually have a healthy appreciation for whiny teen pop (Avril, Miley, etc.) but I could never stomach that one.
Yay, new Saraphonic Sounds! That cover is lush.
