Thanks for sharing this, Kyla.

I have to admit – I don’t know any of those artists. Either I am completely out of touch, or I don’t know… ;)

Oh you’re not out of touch! Just test drive the mix, I bet they’ll seem much more approachable after you’ve given them a listen =)

I love Band of Horses! Such a great band. I don’t know if you’ve heard of Animal Collective, but their music for some reason definitely reminds me of spring. Especially their song, “In the Flowers.” Anyway! When I get home I’ll definitely dl this mix! Thanks! <3

Oh hurrah for new pretty sounds! We’re slowly heading into autumn here and I’m missing the lushness of summer (and the spring before) already :)

I will totally check those out! I definitely listen to music depending on my mood/the seasons, and you’re right, we need something that will put spring to our step :)

Although here, it seems to be returning to winter :( Booo!!!

I love love love love LOVE when you post music. I think, that if I could have my way, I’d hire you, DShan and @srslyliz to be my own personal DJs and music hunters.

Yes, yes, that would be lovely. Looking forward to spinning this one, DJ Kyla Roma.

Oh, Kyla! This is an AWESOME mix. Several favorites of mine are on here, but the combo of these artists/songs is pure spring perfection :-)

As one who is always on the search for new music and lives her life with a permanent soundtrack playing in the background, I’m always curious to learn how others discover new music and what criteria they use for what they like/don’t like. How do YOU go about doing this?

Thanks for posting this mix!
