I’m still in that never-ending process of learning the right way to make a proper mixtape, so bear with me if this is terrible. I know the mix isn’t consistent, or of the same genre. Probably no one will like this.

How dare I call myself a “music aficionado” if I can’t even put up a decent mix, right?! Well, I’m not. And I certainly have no future as a DJ now (..how ironic, I love DJ Kilmore of Incubus but I suck at DJing). But I do listen to a lot of music. Won’t bother listing the genres because I will get in trouble for it. :))

Anyhoo, my goal for my mixtapes is to capture the moment in them. If that makes any sense. Since at the end of the day, I’ll be mostly the only one listening to it. Haha.

This mixtape contains a few songs that were of some importance from what happened these past three days. During some of those moments, these were the following songs that.. started playing in my head, or what I was listening to in the background. Lol.

It’s a very weird mix, I’d like to think it is. But I’m hoping you discover a new song or two from it. Enjoy(?)!

Yeah I know, the album art is so original (not!). What can you do.. it’s the middle of the night! Hahaha. I edited the photo in LINE app, lol. Yes that is my handwriting, it’s not normally like that. It only looks like that because I’m writing on good paper and using a nice pen.

OH and if anyone is curious (LOL), that notepad I got it for P50 at SM’s stationery department. Most of the letters of the alphabet were available except for the ones I wanted (like the letter A, X, I, N)… or some letters looked nice but not nicely designed. So I had to make do and pick a design w/ a nicely designed monogram. The L was the only one that looked up to par w/ my design standards ….hahahaha just kidding.

PS: May I just say that Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories album is so soothing and chill to listen to? o_O I’m close to saying that this is their best album yet. Then again I do not have an extended knowledge of their music other than the stuff from their Greatest Hits album hahaha.

214: Love Songs for Both the In Love and Bitter 😉 (yes the wink is included in the title, LOL!)

1. Bamboo – I-You
2. Rivermaya – Balisong
3. Sinosikat? – Turning My Safety Off
4. Iron Wine ft. Calexico – Always On My Mind (Live)
5. Out of Body Special – Kamakailan Lang
6. Ourlives – Out of Place
7. Spongecola – Neon
8. Alanis Morrissette – Uninvited

As usual, my song choices for my mixtapes don’t match at all.. or have any consistency. Ah well. Here you go guys.. enjoy? Don’t enjoy? Don’t like it? Hope you like it? Haha. Anyway! I didn’t know you can go past 8 in adding songs, because the site is called “8tracks” after all. Apparently you can.. I would’ve added Rivermaya’s “214” and Bamboo’s “Much Has Been Said”, but I think they’re gasgas and overrated songs na.

I wanted to add songs that people haven’t listened to for a long time. Forgotten songs (AFAIK) — yup. Also, most of these songs are from OPM artists. Song #6 is a new one, I found it while I’m watching Emily Owens MD. Such a bummer that the band’s 2 studio albums are not available for purchase outside their home country which is in Iceland!

That’s all. Happy vday to you.. whatever the V means to you. 😛 Til the next post!

PS: Sorry for the shitty album art lolz

Here’s a little something for everyone visiting my blog for the past couple of weeks. :)) Sorry, I have been very busy since Sunday. Work’s starting to pile up and as soon as I’m about to start w/ one of them, another one comes again. How I wish I’m getting paid for all the work I am doing! 🙂

I’m aware that my mixtape is a little unusual. Why the theme? No reason in particular. Lame reason though.. I woke up today, and as I went on to do my morning rituals (or not really, just house chores hehe) the song “Pice of This” by OPM band POT played in my head. Couldn’t get rid of it ever since and so I decided to look for similar songs and this is the result.

I would put a snazzy album art but I’m in a hurry to post this. Maybe later when I get back from a friend’s get-together. Hope you enjoy the mix (or not.. but that’s okay!). 😀

1. POT – Pice of This
2. Kapatid – Prayer
3. Stars – Calendar Girl
4. Band of Horses – The Funeral
5. Band of Horses – Monsters
6. Glasvegas – Daddy’s Gone
7. Orange and Lemons – Hanggang Kailan
8. Stonefree – Kapag Nawala ka

PS: My first mix is posted here, and coincidentally, I posted it on a Saturday as well!
