we put our 2011 mixtape together awhile ago, but we've been busy traveling and moving and packing and unpacking so we've yet to share it with anyone. at last:
the mix this year has a bit of new, a bit of old, a bit of even older. a good amount of covers. some great songs and some songs so bad that we had to love them (i'm talking to you, #6, heard for the first time in a thrift store basement in prescott, az). i got super into old country this year and i am a little sad to see we didn't have dolly represent that here. thanks to npr for introducing us to #1 and #13. #7 and #9 got stuck in our heads many, many times. and #8 and #12 were everywhere. #17 is a sweet version of one of my favorite songs, and one i am teaching the babies to sing. for dancing we loved #2 and #4. #10, #14, and #15 speak to my all time favorite music genre which is: mellow. #16 is one of mateo's favorites. of course #5 is for the best thing that happened to us in 2011.
as always, let us know if you'd like a copy. and if you have any recommendations we should check out. :)

My cousin(in-law....husband of my like-a-sister-to-me-cousin) is the keyboard-player/background vocals for Apples in Stereo! How fun! I don't listen to them much, but my favorite of theirs is "Energy" which is fun to dance to while driving down a sunny road in the summer with the windows down and your toddler laughing like crazy!
ReplyDelete16 and 5...........love them both!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYES PLEASE!!!
ReplyDeleteSounds great! Seeing as you are so in 'the know' when it comes to music, I'm sure you are already familiar with the Trio albums (Linda Ronstadt, Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris). But just in case, thought I'd recommend it! We've been enjoying a little old country lately, too.
ReplyDeletePlease, pretty please, may I have a copy?? A special package is coming for you...though it may not arrive until April....
