Spring Has Sprung: mixtape 2012

You guys. Spring Break has arrived! Which means many wonderful things, including a brand-spanking-new, little mixtape*, made by me, for your listening enjoyment. Let me know if you wanna swap. (*Even though it's a CD, I like to call them mixtapes, just for old time's sake.) It turned out a bit more electronic-y than mixes I normally make, but let's just go with it, shall we?

1. Across the Universe - The Beatles
2. Simple Song - The Shins
3. Video Killed the Radio Star - The Buggles
4. Bad Reputation - Joan Jett
5. Heartbeats - The Knife
6. Personal Jesus - Depeche Mode
7. Faith - George Michael
8. That Old Black Hole - Dr. Dog
9. Heartlines - Florence + the Machine
10. Somebody That I Used to Know (feat. Kimbra) - Gotye
11. Son's Gonna Rise - Citizen Cope
12. Perfect Speed - 13 & God
13. Crush - Sleigh Bells
14. Do You Realize?? - Flaming Lips
15. Hold On, Hold On - Neko Case
16. Empty House - Delta Spirit
17. I Want You Back - Jackson 5
18. Don't You Evah - Spoon
19. Rock the Casbah - The Clash
20. Born to Run - Bruce Springsteen
21. Have a Little Faith in Me - John Hiatt

I put nearly** every song right here in a playlist on Grooveshark, where you can listen for free. (**for the two songs they didn't have, I used a cover and an alternate title by the same band.)

Or download the whole glorious thing right here from iTunes, if you wanna burn your very own copy. I recommend playing it in your car and singing along. At the top of your lungs.

Happy Spring Break!
