I hadn't made a tape in awhile and decided to start diggin' through some of the stuff I've collected recently, picking out the things that seemed to fit my mood at the moment: loving my family, dealing with summer, and wanting to groove/relax.

tracklist

1 Ralf Youtz : Even When I'm Waling Down the Street
I thought that the former drummer for Built to Spill provided a nice lo-fi love song that would be a great opening tune...I like how tracks like this seem more personal and I thought this was a great way to set a tone for the rest of the mix
