Am i the only person who has an extremely romanticised view of winter? You know, right now i'm excited for snowball fights, hot cocoa, cuddling to keep warm. But ask me in two months when I have to trudge around in that shit. I will not like winter.



So here's a mix that celebrates all that I think is good about winter, but only because it's not winter yet.

tracklist

1 Battles : Tonto
I don't know. It just kind of reminds me of a snowstorm. It starts lightly and just gets more and more intense. I'm not on drugs right now.

2 Arcade Fire : No Cars Go
After the snowstorm, the city streets are desolate. It's surreal seeing a city shut down, and walking through completely car-less streets. Absolutely beautiful.

4 Minus the Bear : Hooray
I know that there will be at least a three hour period that I'll actually want to be outside. So I will go sled, make snow angles, build an igloo, etc. And then I'll have snow down my pants, frozen hair, and I'll have to piss. Ah, just like childhood.

5 Bloc Party : Staying Fat
I'm covered head to toe in down, wool, and anything warm I can find. I exercise less caution at the chinese buffet than I would it were summer. And having some extra chub keeps me warm. It's a totally legit excuse.
