Okay… before we begin, check this out, originally tumbled by drowse, of the dad from Everybody Hates Chris doing a collection of the most random Old Spice body wash commercials. They are back-to-back-to-etc-etc without a pause, giving them an even greater sense of randomness and WTFness!
Awesomeness?
Yes…. yes it is.
Alright, the reason for the season, today’s mixtape. This one’s been brewing in my head ever since I first heard “You Were Born” by Cloud Cult. Every time I listen, all I can think about is my oldest daughter Saydi. Something about the tone, the lyrics, the theme of the album itself that when that song comes on, it’s only her I think about.
After falling in love with the album, I had the incurable urge to build a mixtape, with nothing but her in mind. Songs that make me think of her, songs that inspire me that I want to share with her, songs she loves but maybe with a new twist on them, songs to hopefully inspire her & her music, songs for Saydi, songs for my sunshine.
It’s been a long & tough journey, sweetie, a journey that in many ways is only just now beginning. I’m so proud of who you are, what you’ve done, the woman you have become, and all the places you are going. You are an amazing person & I love you so much! This is for you!
But…
Before we get to it, a very special call out. She will be playing A show THIS SUNDAY on August 22 at the Clubhouse in Tempe, AZ!
Go see her before she becomes bigger than Jesus! Okay, here we go!!!!

Damn you, slower-than-usual-download (but thx @TSURURADIO). Based on the songs I know already, should be a fab mixtape http://bit.ly/9G0gOI
Pink Sunshine is actually by Drink Up Buttercup (sorry, I’m not trying to be snooty and ruin all the happy vibes but I just really love that band). Anyway, the mix is like my iTunes on crack, I love it!! Also, your daughter is really talented, best of luck with her music career! :)
haha! I knew that too! Must’ve had a typo when tagged them! Oops! lol. Thank you so much, I’m so glad you enjoy the mix and yeah…. she’s CRAZY talented!
awww, this is by far the best mix I ever downloaded here and I loved them all. But this one is… unbefuckinglievably awesome!
