We'll be there for 10 days, relaxing our butts off. I'm so excited, I haven't slept for the last few days. I just can't wait to get away from everything and everybody. And hopefully get a tan! I'll take pics and maybe send one to my LJ while I'm there, if I can figure out how to do it. :P <br /><br />Also, I have a mix (and an attempt at creative writing)for you! Take a peek under the cut!<br /><br /><a href="http://s14.photobucket.com/albums/a301/ozykuazi/?action=view&amp;current=surfmix-1.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a301/ozykuazi/surfmix-1.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a name="cutid1"></a><br /><a href="http://s14.photobucket.com/albums/a301/ozykuazi/?action=view&amp;current=surfmixback-1.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a301/ozykuazi/surfmixback-1.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />The June gloom has finally cleared up and the sky is ridiculously blue. The sunsets are turning golden and blindingly bright. The 'zonies are storming the beaches and there are children literally everywhere. It is officially summer. Season of beach bonfires, late nights and the right to wear flip-flops and boardshorts wherever the hell you want.<br /><br />This mix is basically 20 songs that make me think of surfing+summer in socal. The emphasis is absolutely not on lyrics but on sound and visualization. These are just songs that remind me of the best days of my life, going out into the ocean and hanging out on the beach morning, noon and evening with my best friends.<br />I hope it does something like that for you too. :)<br /><br /><i>beautiful day</i>/donavon <br /><br /><i>could you be loved</i>/bob marley <br /><br /><i>california dreamin'</i>/the mama's and the papa's <br /><br /><i>firesuite</i>/doves <br /><br /><i>good vibrations</i>/the beach boys <br /><br /><i>buffalo soldier</i>/bob marley <br /><br /><i>uncontrollable urge</i>/devo <br /><br /><i>welcome to jamrock</i>/damien marley <br /><br /><i>youth of the nation</i>/p.o.d. <br /><br /><i>if i could fall in love</i>/lenny kravitz <br /><br /><i>subterranean homesick alien</i>/radiohead <br /><br /><i>doin' time</i>/sublime<br /><br /><i>12:59 lullaby</i>/bedouin soundclash<br /> <br /><i>untitled</i>/interpol <br /><br /><i>i'll be here a while</i>/311 <br /><br /><i>dracula</i>/gorillaz <br /><br /><i>somewhere over the rainbow/what a wonderful world</i>/israel kamakawiwo'ole <br /><br /><i>mermaids</i>/slow runner <br /> <br /><i>everything i want to be</i>/save ferris <br /><br /><i>let it be sung</i>/jack johnson<br /><br /><a href="http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WKL4GTSZ">/zip file download</a></center> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:ozyoxy:49520 2009-04-14T18:47:18Z 2009-04-14T18:48:25Z <a name="cutid1"></a><a target="_blank" href="http://s14.photobucket.com/albums/a301/ozykuazi/?action=view&amp;current=mixcover.png"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a301/ozykuazi/mixcover.png" /></a> <a target="_blank" href="http://s14.photobucket.com/albums/a301/ozykuazi/?action=view&amp;current=mixback.png"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a301/ozykuazi/mixback.png" /></a><div> </div><div style="text-align: left; "><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></div><div><br /> </div><br /><br />bring me flowers / hope <a href="http://www.megaupload.com/?d=6SM0UA3I">♪</a><br />[beginnings]<br /><i><small>I haven’t got a clue if you’re the one<br />But I like you<br />And ooh I like how you make me feel<br />I wanna do this right<br />Don’t wanna waste this night<br /><br />I’m a little scared to hold you close<br />Cause I just might never ever let you go<br />Caught up in your smile<br />I’m happy as a child</small></i><br /><br />clementine / washington <a href="http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MAY2PGA6">♪</a><br />[growing stronger]<br /><i><small>Take me out, take me home, take me anywhere<br /><br />I'm alright, I don't mind.<br />I'm just running into something bigger than the something that I left behind.</small></i><br /><br />hallelujah / imogen heap <a href="http://www.megaupload.com/?d=6F4HBGE7">♪</a><br />[love]<br /><i><small>Baby I've been here before <br />I've seen this room and I've walked this floor <br />I used to live alone before I knew you <br />I've seen your flag on the marble arch <br />but love is not some victory march <br />It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah</small></i><br /><br />red flags and long nights / she wants revenge <a href="http://www.megaupload.com/?d=JYZL9A2C">♪</a><br />[PTSD and separation]<br /><i><small>Sick of trying to find a way inside<br />Sick and tired of all the after<br /><br />She says that im a mess but its alright<br />Whether its 2 weeks, 2 years or just tonight<br /><br />I can find a reason that we should quit<br />I can find a reason to do it<br />I can find excuses for all my shit<br />She tells me just to work right through it<br /><br />Shes got all the friends around and you can hear them say:<br />Hes not into you hes into the idea of?<br />But little do they know that shes not through</small></i><br /><br />duet / rachael yamagata <a href="http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LHVMIBS2">♪</a><br />[breaking up]<br /><i><small>Oh lover, hold on 'til I come back again<br /><br />If you're patient I will surprise<br />When you wake up I'll have come<br />All the anger will settle down<br />And we'll go do all the things we should have done<br /><br />I'll be here if you will only come back home</small></i><br /><br />breathe / télépopmusik <a href="http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Q67V24Z1">♪</a><br />[apart]<br /><small><i>You haunt my dreams<br />There's nothing to do but believe,<br />Just Believe.<br />Just Breathe.<br /><br />I'm used to it by now.<br />Another day, just believe.<br />Just breathe.
