i.n.i.t.i.a.l

you know what i totally love? letters. and full stops. and putting letters with full stops to make tiny words that stand for something else. i really just love them. a lot. and abbreviating things. i totes love that too. and when i love something, you know what that means. mixtape time.

word. x

l.e.s artistes - santigold

i'm not even really sure what the l.e.s stands for in this song, but my ears get very happy whenever they listen to it.

vcr - the xx

hearting this band so much right now. can't wait to see them at laneway in jan. so lyrically succinct and they're barely twenty - j to the ealous.

paper planes - m.i.a.

bloody hell. m.i.a. is cooler than a cola sunny boy on a hot summer day. seriously thinking about changing my name to k.a.t.i.e.d.a.z.z.l.e.

all my friends - lcd soundsystem

i might like tiny words, but when songs are as good as this, they can be as long as they want.

ode to lrc - band of horses

if i could use the letters to write a song, i'd make an ode to tiny words too, band of horses.

can't believe a single word - vhs or beta

i love vhs's. and i still have a stellar collection consisting of the lion king, pulp fiction and empire records.

o.p.p. - naughty by nature

when i was making a mixtape this morn, bambi asked me what it was about. when i told her she said "oh kit, i bet there's some trashy hip hop/rap song you could use". ha.

here i am - ub40

what's with the bomber jacket? that is all.

o.a.v.i.p - the maccabees

outstandingly amazing very important person? or perhaps a secret message to someone.
