You know when you’ve gone days without sleep because you and your friend thought it would be hilarious to drink three cases of beer and go dancing instead of sleeping? And you are tired, but not in the “I’m so sleepy” way, but in the way that makes the word ‘ketchup’ suddenly the FUNNIEST thing ever?
Yeah.
That’s how I feel right now except I’ve been sleeping. And you know, not drinking liters of beer. In fact, I’ve been sleeping well, and today even bought the greatest new shoes (these ones in black). So, I thought I should give you guys a mix tape. Because I have a crush on you.

(And for the record, I thought about creating a mixtape of music I really would like to give Jim Halpert but I thought that might be crossing some sort of important line between reality and fantasy, so instead y’all get this mix tape- its only redeeming quality being that I can honestly say I listened to each of these songs today. For better or for worse. Oh! And also, if you’ve not downloaded “You are the best thing” by Ray LaMontagne, you have not yet lived. That is all. )
I just realized the last time anyone made a mix tape for me was back in college. And it was on tape. Sheesh, I’m old…
Wow. My first mixtape! Thanks :)
(Oh, and those shoes? Amazing! But there’s no way I could actually walk in them, which might ruin the seduction moves…)
this is amazing…computers are amazing…keeping in mind i remember 8 tracks…before they were relegated to Antiques Roadshow, along with duotangs…
I’ve been reading for a while but never commented. So, hi, I’m Jillian. haha :) Anyway…best Ryan Adams song ever and best John Mayer song ever. way to go! Thanks!
Oh poo, I’m in work and can’t access anything on this post at all! Not even the picture of the shoes. I’ll have to mark it as unread in my google reader and come back when I’m at home. Boo. :(
Those shoes? are all sorts of HAWT! they’d make me 6 feet tall but still!!
Ha! I made a mix tape for myself a few days ago. Now I really WANT to make one. Stupid car only playing CD’s. I miss cassette tapes.
gotta love mixwit! xx
The shoes are big sexy for sure!
So, ever since you told me about Ray a few weeks ago, he’s been on constant play. I love “You are the best thing”. I’ve been meaning to tell you this.
The mix tape is fab. I was just thinking yesterday how a mixed tape took so much more energy than just burning a CD. You’re so sweet to share this with us. There are a few that I don’t have yet that I may have to download this morning.
Your mix tape is taking the place of my ipod until it’s over :)
Ahhh, mix tapes. This was the true sign of love back in the day. LOL. I plan on listening later this morning. And those shoes? I could never walk in them! LOL.
Unfortch, I cannot view the shoes NOR the mixtape, as they are both blocked at work. However, once I read your comment on Laurie’s post about that Ray LaMontagne song, I downloaded it and have been listening to it nonstop, yearning to get married so that I might use it at my wedding reception.
Delusional? Me?
NEVER.
And I would totally not judge you if you made a mixtape for Jim Halpert. I want to take a bite right out of his cheesecake.
I don’t even know if that makes sense. I just made that up. I think.
Mixed tape and “ketchup”. The last time I even listened to a mixed tape was well over three years ago. Ahhh, the good old days.
Ok, so had to laugh when I read “ketchup.” No joke. So, it’s the stupidest, yet makes me laugh everytime, joke from “Pulp Fiction.” If you don’t remember or didn’t see the movie . . . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6S9WhZ2tw9c
I know, dumbest joke EVER. But, it’s the little things in life to make one laugh, right?
LOVE the shoes . . . nothin like a hot pair of stilettos!
You are seriously my favorite. SHOUT? hahahaha. It always reminds me of wedding crashers!
That was seriously the most random mixtape ever.
I used to pick that Cake cover at a certain bar I used to go to that had it in the jukebox. Always a crowd pleaser :)
How did you make that? I love it. I’m at work so I can’t listen to it, but I am excited to get home and hear all the great jams you picked out!
i love Mixwit! I’m totally going to make you a mixtape back.
Based on this mixtape (and those shoes!!) I am now imagining you as my new best friend. Wait…that sounds creepy doesn’t it?
Also, Ray Lamontagne is the best. That song is easily my favorite from his new disc.
Hey Brandy, I’ve tagged you with a Kreativ Blogger award, which you can pick up on my site next time you drop by. Cheers.
I love that it’s a tape – brings me back. This is awesome.
Cool mix tape! I tried to make one, but a lot of the songs I wanted weren’t available. Crap!
Im pretty close to the real-life Jim Halpert…exceot he ahs a couple inches on me I think. He looks really tall.
Mmmm… John Cusack…
this post? is why I adore you! xoxo
Awesome!
Tonight on the office Jim is coming to WINNIPEG.
Which for the record is where I live!
I’m kind of really ridiculously excited.
I am going to DL You are the best thing as I am looking for new music – thanks!
i havent gotten a mix tape in years you have no idea how excited i am lol thanks!
My friends and I made mix tapes in high school – over 11 years ago…*sigh*
And those shoes! You could poke someone’s eye out with that heel – love them!
I just played “You are the Best Thing” for Mr. W on our anniversary. :D You have great taste, my dear!
You’re so cool.
love the mix tape. you have ja rule and ashanti, that right there is just awesome.
Check out my blog, I awarded you my brand new blog award.
I can’t believe you have Ryan Adams’ Come Pick Me Up on your list. I love that song.
OoooOOooo very cool!
This is the best thing ever, I am so going to have to nick this idea! x
well that’s some serious embedding you’ve done here. can’t wait to listen.
and of COURSE i have any and all of ray’s songs right at my fingertips.
… i wish i had HIM at my fingertips too.
ahem.
ps- download joseph arthur’s version of “in the sun”— you’ll dig it.
oh god, and that john mayer one gets me EVERY SINGLE TIME.
thanks, now im teary eyed at my desk.
but in a good, sweet, nostalgic way.
hey, i hear egan loves this song too.
Holy hell lady! You can actually walk in those shoes?! I am bowing down to you. Totally impressed. :-)
Yay for mixed tapes!
hhmmm….. I’m thinking it is a wise thing Pam got herself back to Scranton before you could swoop in and steal Jim!
awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
that was soooo sweet!!!!
:)
oh mixed tapes….i made and received many a mixed tape back in the day…
That mixtape is adorable. I really miss making the real thing. There was something so…special about a mixtape.
But seriously, great song selection! And GREAT shoes
Saw this gluten-free article and thought you might be interested, there is a cookbook! http://www.delish.com/food/cookbooks/1000-gluten-free-recipes
I could kiss you, seriously! Love this!!! And Ray LaMontagne, I wanna have his babies. Adore him. Adore this mix tape! Love that your mix of music is as kooky as mine, I mean Taylor Swift, The Cure, Jenny Owen Youngs and Goldfinger? Amazing.
i second what brookem said about joseph arthur and the amazing-ness. and why do i never get here to actually comment? i suck. but you, my dear, and your mix? amazing. i’m going to make one asap!
Mix tapes rock. God the work I used to put into those..
I thought I was daring with the three inch heels at work… clearly I am not sexy enough for those beasts. (Digging the red though.)
Ooooh.. sorry just skipping through the tape.
Ryan Adams… oh I love that song!
(And Spirit of the West, was my theme song after many a road trip.)
I love it! You cannot go wrong with Ryan Adams or the Postal Service on any mixtape.
