One day my beautiful friend Katie found this rock, drew a picture of a seascape on it and gave it to me. It is truly one of my favorite things ever.
It is also the inspiration for SOS 2011. When I began working on them a few months ago I really didn't have a plan of attack. I knew I wanted a set of fun music. Music that made me feel good. That made me think of all of the things I love about the Summer. Then one day I was looking for something in a box and instead came across this rock. It brought up incredibly fond memories from the times when we were younger and I would visit her at college in beautiful San Luis Obispo. That nostalgic feeling carried over heavily into SOS 2011. Probably more so on this next playlist than any of the others. Even though it is the third in the set, I had many of these songs chosen before any of the other mixes began to take shape. That said it very well may be my favorite of the bunch. It's a wonderful combination of old favorites and current jams that keeps me docked in the now while I dip my toes in the then.
Turns out she's moving back to SLO while her boyfriend attends the same college she did and although I am sad they're moving three hours away, I cannot wait to play this mix on the long drive to make new Summer memories with them.
So grab your sunglasses, fill up the tank and get your road trip started, we've got the soundtrack covered. Enjoy.
