ryn's Morning Tunes: Rise & Shine

This most recent mixtape theme was suggested to me by my most Western friend (at least to my knowledge). So she may able to actually download this tonight and set it for her tomorrow morning if she stalks well enough...

This was supposed to get out last Friday... actually, last Thursday morning so that it'd be ready for your early morning awakening for work. Buuuut it's a little late - so get stoked for the start of your beautiful, sunny, and HOT June with some tunes instead! One of my alarms in the morning is actually my iPod (dock) so, I've compiled a batch of tunes that would start my morning off on the right foot. Give em a try! They're at least something to dance and sing along to as you get ready ...if you have the energy in the morning.. LINK IS AT THE BOTTOM AS ALWAYS, PLAYA!

ryn's Sunny (Beach) Jams, Vol. 1

For the past few days, the sun has been in fulllll effect. It was supposed to stick around right through the week and into our weekend, but it doesn't seem so hopeful anymore... but who knows, weather change all the time. All this warm sunny weather and the blue skies that have come along with, have me pretty stoked to take a bike ride down to a beach or park. My newest mix is influenced by just that - tunes I wanna hear while enjoying a cooler full of beers down by the water while tossing a frisbee; lord knows I don't want to touch down in any nasty bodies of water in and around Ottawa just yet! Just some tunes I'm into that I'm sure you've heard, along with some you might not have, so check it out! Also, if you've got any requests for themes for future mixtapes or past themes that you especially want to hear more of, let me knoooww.
