About a month and a half ago, I posted a snOMG mix in honor of having somewhere in the neighborhood of 16 inches pile down in the grand old seat of Washington DC…not exactly a place deemed a Winter Wonderland. Well, if you’ve been watching the news or the weather at all this week…we actually topped the crazy snowfall that inspired the snOMG mix. We got two feet of snow this weekend…with at least one more foot on the way starting tomorrow. I haven’t been to work since Friday morning and I doubt I’ll go back to work before Thursday. The vacation is nice and I very much needed the break but, really, enough already. By tomorrow, I’ll probably run out of chores to do and I’m already running out of beer and the makings of grilled cheese. As such, here’s my Cabin Fever Mix: A tribute to everyone in Washington, DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia and all points in between who are going out of their fucking minds and getting ready to roast them some groundhog.

Reading all of the news, emails and just about everything else revolving around SXSW has me a little sad that I once again (three times straight since I started blogging) am not able to partake in this year’s proceedings.  As always, I say to myself “Hey, maybe next year!” but for the time being I will just stew here in my chair until next week. Knowing that isn’t really productive, I figured why not make a little mix to cheer myself up?  What else can turn a frown upside down than a bunch of fun pop songs, or even for a random, lazy Sunday afternoon.  Hope this finds you in happy spirits!
