HEAVY ROTATION: It'll Be O.K.

These are just some songs I've been listening to a lot this past week.
It is not a mix, I am not a DJ, so don't expect any beat matching. This is just a zip file of the following songs that have been played in heavy rotation in my itunes and in my car as of late. I fully realize how these all may seem themed a little emotionally, but that is the truth, so I just wound up titling this playlist "It'll Be O.K." as it has been some of my therapy the past week.

Track List:
"Earthquake" - Ssion
"Meet Me Half Way" - Black Eyed Peas
"Point Of No Return" - Expose
"With Every Heartbeat" - Kleerup featuring Robyn
"Enjoy The Silence" - Depeche Mode
"Crystalised" - The XX
"If I Had A Heart (Fuck Buttons Remix)" - Fever Ray
"Your Love" - Frankie Knuckles
"Send Him Back (Pilooski Edit)" - The Pointer Sisters
"She's Not Me" - Madonna
"Catch Me I'm Falling" - The Cover Girls
"I Can't Kick This Feeling" - Moodyman
"I Won't Stop Loving You" - Mirage

MOVING ON

I feel broken.
I don't know how to fix it, but it's time to move on.
One of the things that has been helping me lately is listening to Mya.
I feel like Mya really kept it real. I especially love songs that are honest enough to say some really fucked up shit, like the one below titled "If you died I wouldn't cry because you never loved me anyway." Woah Mya, that's kinda fucked up, but probably so true. I feel the same way about that Outkast song "Roses" where he talks about how he hopes "Caroline" gets into a car crash. I don't have ill feelings towards anybody, but I can appreciate the honesty and openness of both those songs. Anyway, back to Mya, whatever happened to her? I had read a long time ago that she got really liberated with her sexuality on her last album and confronted her father or something? I dunno, I just think its time for another album Mya. GIVE IT TO ME.

Moving On - Mya
If you died I wouldn't cry because you never loved me anyway - Mya

MUZAK: CLASSIXX

Last night Classixx did a guest DJ spot and interview with Raul Campos on KCRW. Classixx have grown a lot since I first met them back in the "hush hush" days (a party they threw that if i remember correctly started in their basement apartment in echo park...then again I was drunk so I could be wrong). They have produced songs and remixes for groups like the Ting Tings, Phoenix, and Holy Ghost, and even played live (?) at EDC.

I like their sound a lot, and their DJ set for KCRW was very...chilled out disco, which I can appreciate greatly while listening to from the comfort of my desk. Maybe I'm a little biased, but my favorite song they have done so far is "I'll Get You" along with my good friend Jeppe, Although their major lazor remix I'm definitely feeling as well. Good luck to Classixx, I wish them more and more success, which I'm sure they will achieve.

If you didn't catch it last night, here is their KCRW mix:
