The more I listen to this entire album - Mine is Yours - the more I love it. This will be the first song to hit my January Mix, so catch ‘em live last night on Jimmy Kimmell. (Then, go buy the album. Worth every penny!)

An Ocean Not to Break: Aubs' October 2010 Mix
So here we are, two days into November, which means I’m right on time for posting my October Mix. Really, internets, I’m not usually THIS much of a slacker. It’s just that I like to post the mix of the music I’m most listening to THAT MONTH which, you know, takes most of the month. Without fail, there’s always a few late additions, and this month is no...
