So the last mix tape I made was a fiasco. It wouldn’t stream, wouldn’t download, wouldn’t do anything (that’s now fixed, you can listen!) but please cross your fingers for me that this one works and be kind if it doesn’t!
I’m breaking up with summer this week. I’m the opposite of all the Texan/Cali bloggers who are thoroughly wilted- I’m cutting summer loose because I’ve been able to see my breath on four separate occasions in August. That’s unacceptable behavior if I’ve ever seen it. If summer comes around asking for me, please don’t give it my number, it’s just looking for attention.

Want to preview the mix? Click any of the tracks to stream them or use the player that will appear on the bottom left of your screen to navigate or stream the whole mix. I wish it wasn’t the case but sometimes it’s buggy. My server is only human & not meant for massive media streaming requests.
Enjoy!

Honest to God I could see my breath outside the other night when I had the dog out. I had mixed feelings about it. I suppose in a way I’m breaking up with summer too but its more of a mutual I-still-love-you-and-will-see-you-soon kind of break up.

You have excellent taste in music :)
Next summer, come down and stay with me awhile. You’ll get your fix of HOT. Believe me.

I wish I could break up with summer right now. :( too bad air conditioning is not cheap so I could turn it on full blast and wear fall/winter clothes.
.-= steph anne´s last blog ..Definitely Not a Nurse =-.
This looks like a brilliant mix, will definitely have a listen.
To get round the legal issues, have you thought about making the playlist in Spotify and just linking to that? Just an idea :)

I love Honey & the Moon by Joseph Arthur. I purchased The O.C. Soundtracks a while ago, and that song was on the first mix. I absolutely love it, its so beautiful. Now that brings up my O.C. obsession, which I am kinda over now. Lol. But either way, cool mix. I might have to look some of these songs up. =D
.-= Kristi´s last blog ..On An Etsy Giveaway {That I Really Want To Win}… =-.
Some really great choices on there, specifically Ben Folds and Death Cab. I’ll have to download it once I’m home. Stupid work computer won’t let me. =(

I would love to break up with summer… I am tired of wearing shorts and dresses. It’s time to get that winter coat out, however, DC is having another week of temperatures in the 80s.
PS: Sorry, I don’t have time to listen to your mix tape right now… just trying to catch up on my google reader. Work is keeping me from being online too much. Haha.
.-= Stefanie´s last blog ..So much for homemade dinners. =-.

Cool playlist, I don’t usually listen to these types of music but I’m giving it a listen now :) So far I’m giving two thumbs up.
Hi Kyla!
Not sure if I’ve delurked myself in awhile — I have, indeed, been lurking for the past few months. But this mix made me want to come on out and say hi. It’s beautiful.
Is Andy Stochansky Ani’s now-ex-husband???!!!! I didn’t know he had a solo career if that is the case. So I had to ask.
It’s wonderful to hear you doing so well and finding your way. Thank you for the great music. I may want to email you and find out how you coordinated the posting/player.
.-= Tristan || the almost right word´s last blog ..It has come to this =-.

Honey and the moon is one of the most amazing songs ever. Your entire mix looks pretty amazing. I will now deem us musical soulmates. ;)

Hi, Kyla. I found your blog through 20SB, and I just have to say that I LOVE your mix tape.
.-= wonju wife´s last blog ..Little Things I Love =-.
Your mixes make my life complete. Seriously, Kyla! You are my musical hero! (Also, Honey & the Moon has been one of my favorite songs for YEARS. Totally moves me.)
Thanks for the incredible download! I’m sitting here in my little crafting nook, pretending that it’s not 75 degrees outside and that I’m back where I grew up, where the leaves are changing and the air is cooler. I believe a cup of cocoa is in order. (Even if I’ll end up waiting until it’s cold to drink it because, gah. I’m kind of a sweaty mess. Darn you, Southern California!)
:)
