Rocking out to Remy Zero “The Golden Hum” with the windows down. Nothing can ruin my day. #

Yay! They put a traffic light at 17th Street & Howell Mill Road. Finally. #
First song I flipped on to hear on the “new” @99x is a crappy old Blink-182 track. Have you learned nothing @99x??? #

Viola > Violin #
Finally working on my “ultimate” mixtape. Going to use many favorite underrated songs. #
Argh. Just flipped through the entire Doves catalogue and can’t find the song I’m looking for! #
I was really trying to do an upbeat mix but it’s just not going to happen. Sad bastard music galore. #
Who really ever makes a mix that is only 10 songs? Even cassettes could fit at least 12. #
Very true!! @driveafastercar It depends. Prog mixes: 6 songs, Punk mixes: 35 songs. (via @trskaidkaphobia) #
Neutral Milk Hotel was nixed from the list. It’s a mix people. I have to commit to a direction. Lots of great bands/tracks won’t make it… #
Which also means Dylan has to go. And R.E.M. #
I was going to include you Carla Bruni but somehow the track I needed isn’t in my iTunes anymore? That’s one easy way to prune this list! #
Carla Bruni – “Tout Le Monde” http://tr.im/jtRU #
Just realized how High Fidelity this is. Except I don’t have a crush on @ChadRad I’ll burn him a mix + pass it over dj booth #
SWOON! here’s another current obsession – “Daniel” by @Bat_For_Lashes live on Jools Holland: http://tr.im/jtRC (via @criminalrecords) #
I have a circus gig @ Tongue & Groove Thurs night. I’m juggling & hooping, with friends on trapeze, stilts, & fire fans. (via @greenmonk) #
Think I got the mix done. Off to grab a couple drinks with @wehriam then I may revisit… #
Colbert with Ira Glass was kinda of awesome. #
Dear Comedy Central, I don’t think you could physically have a longer embed code for your videos. Work on that. Love, DaFC #
