I’m pretty much covered on all bases :) so excited. Such great summer music!

After the rain we forget
We make sure we gain then we leave it
‘Cause were a nation of forgetters


People where have you been
Have you been hiding
In you big houses
People after the rain
Will your life
Will it ever be the same
Oh people what will you do
When you luck
When it turns on you
Wow people after the rain
Will your life
Will it ever be the same

Little Dragon’s “Little Dragon” album is pretty much flawless.

that album…

so good each and every time.

just finished making Superman a CD before I take off. It’s pretty awesome and chill. Pretty much consists of the stuff I’ve been vibing to lately…the gambino at the end is pretty random but i had to get it to him somehow and this was easiest! either way, i’m jammin’ right now as i finish this final paper! :)
