Niebieski: A Late Summer Mix




My dear listeners! How has your summer been? Are you as overwhelmed by the speed and variance of this season as I am? Are the changes swirling up like an evening storm and leaving you drenched but feeling oh-so-goddamn alive?

No?

Oh well. In that case, lucky you. Enjoy your sweet and placid existence.

No such luck here. I'm busy becoming my future self, living and loving and occasionally having the shit kicked out of me, metaphorically and otherwise.

Niebieski is my word of the summer. It's a Polish word. I have a dear friend, just barely older and wiser than I am and that is what he calls me. I try to say it sometimes when I'm feeling brave and he just laughs the way someone who speaks many languages does when someone like me (woefully inadequate in the language department) makes a fool of herself stumbling over the sounds.

I mean seriously, why is Polish so difficult? It hurts to speak it.

Anyway. Here's a mix for you. A niebieski playlist for a summer that's winding down.

More soon.
