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!

Lazy Saturdays: A particular Saturday wherein you don’t feel like getting out of your bed and you just want to lock yourself in your room all day.

Today is one of those days.

I woke up late today from staying up really late last night from watching trailers at YouTube mostly of Jim Caviezel’s movies and interviews. Go watch that particular interview of him with Will Ferrell when you can, that cracks me up everytime. :))

When I woke up this afternoon it was almost 2pm. So, the usual, I go online and I chanced upon this website from one of the people I follow on tumblr. A site called 8tracks.com where you can make mixes consisting of 8 tracks (or more? not sure). Their only rule is your mix should not have more than two tracks of the same artist.

So much for a ‘quick mix’, making my first one actually took me an hour. From deciding which songs to put up to making the impromptu album art.

Be nice to my first ever legit quickly put up mix, please? 😛

Making mixtapes for me is kind of a hit and miss thing. I don’t get it sometimes, like, is there a formula for it? All I know is, what was running in my mind while deciding the songs is that they should be mellow, chill and ‘light sounding’ songs. I hope those three were achieved with the songs I put in here.

Not The First Time Lily Dreams On: A Rainy Saturday Mix by Anna
