standing four feet ten in one sock






 Sooooo basically the only thing that happens during the summer in my town is the fair. It's simple, a few animal barns (with the MOST macabre/perfect sign that read "Lamb BBQ Friday" which was hung up right outside of the sheep barn), one room for local art, one for flowers, and the rest devoted to greasy food and rickety rides. 

THIS IS IT IN ALL ITS GLORY. I went twice, obviously because it was so much fun. Fair vibes just speak to me, alright? The sun and the dead grass, and the pastels and the DEEP FRIED OREOS.They were so GOOD oh my god. 

Really though, the blaringly loud hits from the 00s on the loudspeakers got to me because MAN did they ruin the sun-drenched happiness of it all. So I made my own playlist. Maybe some day I'll go the fair, beat up a ride operator, and play this mix over the loudspeakers. Or not. Either way, here's the mix.

no really it was the stone age



I made you a mixtape. (Alright, a mix CD. But there's scientific proof somewhere that that name isn't nearly as catchy or cute.) There wasn't much thought behind it, it was just a bunch of songs thrown together while making various things requiring flowers and hot glue on the floor of my bedroom. It's a little bit summer-y, a little dreamy, and a pretty perfect "being lazy" soundtrack.
