mm#12_borders
i guess it's not quite a monday mixtape, so here's your monday mixtape on tuesday.. droppin the ball, gosh! (i didn't have my computer the past week while in jamaica..)
lots of throwback tunes this week, ENJOY :)
mm#11_azure

mm#10_suburban

just_boys being boys
ultra-feminists: please ignore this, but watching this video got me thinking, why do boys have more fun? i want to be friends with these guys. and any excuse to take me back to iceland...
mm#9_helix
mad late in the game this monday, but it's still a monday mixtape! hope your week is starting out as fantastic as my 25th year of life has been :)
ENJOY

mm#8_stabilize
be sure to make your way to the end of this one--the last couple are pretty joyous, but you need to earn that, with a price that's not hard to pay (listening to other awesome tunes)
ya dig
you should know_kilian martin + brett novak
posted this on facebook a while back, but re-stumbled on the talented duo earlier today, so had to share with you all. this video really is everything to me...beauty at its core
mm#7_cake
mixtape monday, tastes like cake. i think you'll like. unless you don't like cake. then you probably won't
ENJOY :)
you should know_mree
i promise its a matter of months (if that) before you're going to hear about this girl everywhere. last week i went to go see mree who was playing a short gig at pianos, and jesus christ, her voice is absolutely angelic.
even more touching was how humble and sweet the 19-year-old musician is. when i told her i'd been listening to her album, winterwell, on repeat, she touched her heart and said "really? oh my god.. thank you!" --and it was so genuine. just makes you want to support young talent that much more. check out 3 of my fav songs:
mm#6_passage
monday mixtape is usually inspired by my mood, which is usually inspired by the weather, which these days has gone from 3 days of seattle-like to suddenly san francisco. somehow this playlist fits that... probably only in my mind hah
ENJOY :)

mm#5_animal
sunny monday in my black pointy ankle boots listening to rock + roll. here it is, mixtape monday, hand-mama-some-ear-plugs edition.
when i get my motorcycle and drive the PCH, this is coming with me. dreaming of a matte black ducati...
you should know_detroit is beautiful
most of what we see across facebook and instagram feeds features the intriguing #ruinporn that the city of detroit is crawling with. rarely does anyone showcase the rich history or current betterment overflowing in the city. i found this video from german PR firm OSK to be extremely heart-warming; for once our city is showcase in its glory--past and present--and not for the means of selling a chrysler vehicle
please make sure to check out OSK's extremely thoughtful and insightful blog post on the city of detroit here
you should know_sweetgreen
who knew salads could be so crave-worthy? i sure didn't. salads were never considered a meal in my book.. until i tried sweetgreen. i've been shocked by recent conversations with people unfamiliar with the brand, so i had to share.
not only are the salads killer, filling, and stocked with delicious, fresh and LOCAL ingredients, but the brand itself is a movement, one that you just want to feel a part of. OH and check out their commitment to sustainability:
AND they host a yearly music festival (sweetlife) with all-killer-no-filler lineups like this one last year:
AWESOME BRANDING + AWESOME PRODUCT = I'M A FAN
mm#4_drive
this never-ending winter has me itching for a road trip out west...
the best part of road trips (besides chasing NPR stations, and gas station ice cream) is the perfect playlist. these are some of my favorite tracks for long drives; hope you enjoy, and if you're lucky enough--take it on a road trip :)
mm#3_chillwave
here it is, this monday's mixtape. had a super grey AM here in the city, inspiring a slew of 'chillwave' tracks. hope you enjoy :)
