As I’ve blogged about before I have had a minor obsession with the desert of the American southwest, The Good The Bad and The Ugly, and what it might have been like growing up in a suburb of Phoenix. Here is the soundtrack to those thoughts swirling around the grey matter of my brain.
My song selection feels on-point for the mood and story I want to tell save for the Ennio cut off the top which my be a challenge for some listeners, and breaks my golden rule of not staring off with a punch or a song more representative of the set. No worries… I needed this song to get me fired up on the mix.
The mix between Caribou and FM Belfast is rather tragic. Sorry for that. I have grappled with this list for a couple weeks and have scrapped a few attempts… I had to settle for allowing some mistakes or I’d never get it done.
The FM Belfast song is quirky… but I like it because it is all about the suburbs and being a teenager, which flows into College’s song so nicely.
“its so sexy… to be… living in America… baby, we’re living in America.” Well done DOM.
The Crystal Castles song I added just this week after hearing it. I just like it, but it doesn’t really conjure any of the emotions or thoughts listed above. Just thought the sound fitted in.

Did you know it snows in the desert sometimes? weird.
Go with yourself.
The Morning After 
Two Types is my absolute favourite. I know I say that every time but this one is going to be hard to beat.
Thanks for taking the time to do these mixes. Seriously.
Cool pictures, did you take them?
My Mom mostly (maybe my Dad) when they took their spring break to Arizona and Nevada. My grandparents are mega snowbirds so sometimes they go down to visit them in the winter/spring. pretty good right?

They are good!
Thanks again, great listening for my early (actually late) morning waking brain.
I am happy that people are enjoying them (and please share them too!).
