Rodarte’s Kate and Laura made us this playlist and it is PERFECT for warm summer days spent indoors, dreaming of the West.

Hello, you. June’s theme will be LONGING. Unlike more-acute forms of desire like desperation or need, longing is a sweet ache—more pining for something than dying for it. It’s nostalgia, homesickness, boredom, a persistent feeling of lack, dreaming of escape/the future. It’s summer: summer homes & cottages, stuffy summer bedrooms, sun-bleached memories of summers past. The shadow of September that hangs over June. It’s secret hangouts, crushes, unrequited love. Send what you’ve got here, and thanks. ♥
otis redding!!!

Log in to replyI love this site – I know it’s for teens but in some ways I feel like it’s made for me because it’s so nostalgic! Put together this list on a spotify playlist: http://open.spotify.com/user/erin-m/playlist/2vZLPkPS3ZmUVyBPEwERbx

“…warm summer days spent indoors…”
My mind went to: “Spending warm summer days indoors. Writing frightening verse. To a buck-toothed girl in Luxembourg.” Morrissey knows it all.
Log in to replyWhen I drove to California I made a similar playlist :)
I would suggest “Sunshine Highway” by Jonah P. Jones and She & Him “Home”
Log in to replyAmazing. Everyone should also listen to Midnight Voyage by The Mamas & The Papas. Your ears will be in heaven.
