Music For A Desert Getaway

I just completed a mix for my upcoming 2 night trip to The Ace Hotel in Palm Springs to celebrate Brian's 30th birthday.  We are both in dire need of of an escape from reality (ie: work, school, bullshit).  I wanted a mix that evoked a relaxed, happy vibe but also had a romantic, bohemian, far-away feel-- like driving on an endless highway surrounded by nothing but cacti & dust with your best friend sitting next to you.  I really just wanted something nice that we could listen to while we lounge (in the private Garden Patio connected to our room) & sip desert cocktails.

1. Let's Go Away For Awhile - Beach Boys
2. Spanish Classical Guitar  - Andres Segovia
3. Dreams Come True Girl - Cass McCombs
4. Jesus - The Velvet Underground
5. Un Rayo Del Sol - Le Mans
6. One PM again - Yo La Tengo
