Saturday Afternoons
Ever since I can remember, Saturday afternoons have been my favorite time of the week. Growing up, my house would always be super quiet. My family was napping, taking their weekly respite from life’s stresses. I would drag my little Aiwa boombox to the window, look out and just vibe to whatever happened to be in my tape deck. Saturday afternoons were the most serene times of my little life.
As I grew older, I kept my Saturday afternoon tradition alive. It became my time to spend with the thing I loved most—music. To this day, every Saturday afternoon is spent outside with my Moelskine, a delicious beverage, pack of cigarettes, some headphones and few albums.
Today I decided to share one of my weekly listening with you people. So, here’s a quick ten song mix of what I listened to today:

The Rise & Fall of St. Valentine
The Rise & Fall of St. Valentine illustrates two sides of love—the painfully beautiful and the beautifully painful. The Rise encompasses the feeling of meeting someone, falling in love and the sheer awesomeness of moments spent together. The Fall explores the heartbreaking, angry, lonely haze that follows a love failed.
The full track listing is below. You can download the mix directly here, all tagged up with album art.
