I can’t lie, it’s been a week of ups, downs, nausea and fireworks. It was about as mashed up as the insanely great Jay-Z/Dolly Parton mash included in this mix. The weekend is here, it’s hot as fuck outside, so may as well sweat with these tunes in your ears.
My time spent at home came and went too quickly but I was ready to get back to NYC because, as I’m sure most of you know, there’s a certain amount of time spent with large groups of family in hectic settings that makes it impossible to want to spend any more time in that same setting.
I’m back and feel twenty pounds heavier – but this too shall pass and this weekend I’ll be celebrating my first Pride in New York. So, let’s do it to it everybody. Here’s your Summer MixTape: Walking on the Moon
Oh the things Chelsea Wolfe’s music does to me. Her new album, Pain is Beauty, comes out September 3rd and I’m only fearful of the pain I know will accompany the beautiful music alongside “The Warden”.
By the time this post goes up, I’ll be back home in Chicago visiting family for the first time since November. I’m not sure if I ever ended up saying this on here, but I definitely remember being on the phone with my stepmom at a time I was feeling overwhelmingly lonely, telling her how weird it was for me to really feel homesick for the first time in my life and missing some people more than you ever thought you would when you finally have the opportunity to.
So this homo is going sweet home-o and leaving you with this mix tape to (hopefully) enjoy this weekend.
Wow, I’ve already screwed up my mix tape posting schedule and it’s only week 2. Better late than never and better late and also with a cute picture of Marshall making a new guinea pig friend at the pet store yesterday.
