it’s december. wow. 2010 went by so quickly, yet i can barely remember january. this was my first post of 2010 where i declared that i would ‘go out and see more stuff’. i’m not sure i lived up to my resolution. i’d like to be hopeful in thinking that 2011 is going to be different. so this month’s music mix is all about trying to be upbeat and … um… full of hope - but in a proactive & non-cheesy way. as bowie so wisely sang:
don’t let me hear you say life’s taking you nowhere, angel
(come get up my baby)
look at that sky, life’s begun
nights are warm and the days are young
(come get up my baby)
golden years, download it here. playlist:
- david bowie – golden years

- cut copy – take me over
- matt & kim – good for great
- broken social scene – 7/4 shoreline

ps. i have to note that this is the third paul simon track i have included in my playlists. i actually couldn’t believe i hadn’t put you can call me al in one already, as it is my favourite song of his. i rattled on about it here… and i just watched that video for the hundredth time.

Awesome vibes. Paul Simon’s a golden year all on his own.
Thanks
