There’s something about plunging into a crisp swimming pool that makes me feel completely isolated from the masses in my surroundings. The images in my chlorine filled eyes are familiar yet not completely defined, a mash up of chatter (which I’m, most likely, not interested in) is almost completely filtered out through the water, and I’m completely floating in a medium where the normal rules of gravity don’t apply. More themed than most of my mixtapes, these tracks (which also happen to be new/ish) are nearly as muffled as the bros in the pool crowd. And Robin, I gots that jj for ya.
FINALLY: No, this isn’t the podcast, yet, but I’ve included a link to download this weeks mixtape in its entirety. Enjoy!

Thank you, Nathan!!! This seriously makes my day :) Keep up the blog and music, I love it all. Have a beautiful weekend!
amazing mixtape, thank you thank you, i can’t thank you enough for providing soundtrack for my weekend, and most likely next week because i like it that much. can’t get enough walkabout (love that Cox), and “what would i want sky”is a top contender for best animal collective tune that incorporates another’s work.
