I hate the sound of my alarm clock more than i hate Hugh Grant. And i fucking hate that bastard.
Waking up for me is kinda like a bad hang over, where any kind of noise is too loud and painful to listen to. That's why i don't listen to music until i've had a shower.
The first half of this mix is for getting ready and the second is for the car ride (i've had a few close calls driving in the morning so i can't stress the importance of the second half enough).
I like how this has turned out so i'll be listening to this next semester. For now I'm enjoying the absence of my alarm clock and the freedom of waking up whenever I want to dammit.
So I hop out of the shower feeling some what refreshed but still tired and half asleep. I want to listen to music that makes me feel good and optimistic. On goes the mix...

tracklist
| 1 | Sam Cooke : You Send Me |
|
*Drying myself and picking outfit*
Sam Cooke is always a great way to start the day. I used to listen to this CD every morning before school in my last year of high school. It was my way of trying to persuade myself that i loved mornings... it didn't really work but at least it put me in a good mood. Now Sam Cooke reminds me of waking up. SHOW MORE

| 2 | The Beach Boys : Hang on to your ego |
|
*Getting dressed*
I prefer this version to 'I Know There's An Answer'. (It's the same song except 'i know there's an answer' is replaced with 'hang on to your ego'. bonus track on the recent release of pet sounds) This feels like a real morning song. A summer morning. Good for summer and even better for winter because it might delude you into thinking it's summer. SHOW MORE

This is very, very good! It just gets better and better along with every single song. I'm never awake one full hour before class starts, but I could consider trying one morning, just to put this mix to the test. "Misirlou", Led Zeppelin, The Shins, Bowie, Ray... VERY NAIZ.

Hope you don't hate all english people with the last name 'Grant' as I am one! With the exception of the Shins, I have all these tracks and I will be making this mixtape for myself. This is my fave of the bunch so far!
