• Tsuru & The Bride Present… Aaron Loves Meghan Vol. 5: Aaron Loves Meghan Loves Aaron Loves…

  

  Well my friends, it’s that time of year again!  November is a key month in the world of Aaron Loves Meghan… it’s the month where we started dating, when we got engaged, and, of course, when we got married.  And every year around this time we present our latest Aaron Loves Meghan mixtape! 

  For the newbs, on Nov. 17th, 2007, Megs & I were married and at our wedding (which I iPod DJ’d) we gave everyone there a mixtape called Aaron Loves Meghan and, of course, posted it up on tsururadio. Since then, we’ve had infinite fun creating a new mixtape together every year, some with themes, some with just the music we love to listen to together, whatever, and present it to you…

  This time, as you can tell from the photo above, things got a bit messy… Thank the lardy I had my pencil handy and my lovely assistant to wind that cassette back up, eh?  

  So, for our 5th volume, we each put together a mini-mixtape for each other.  Mine is Side Aaron Loves Meghan, her’s is side Meghan Loves Aaron.  Then, when we were all done, we put them together and BLAMO! Awesome-o lovey dovey romantical super good times happy hour!!!

  And yes, I know we are a little late getting this mixtape up for you guys… We’ve been a little busy with Baby going to Hong Kong for two weeks, then me to going China for two weeks, then both of us going on a MUCH needed vacation to the Galapagos Islands for a week (which was epic! Like a beachy vacation meets a tropically exploring vacation meets nature’s classroom).  We even made a short film for you!  

  Don’t worry, as per usual it’s not a “talky” and it’s soundtracked by one my favourite songs, “2080” by Yeasayer!

  Okay, back to the mixtape!

  Now, just as a little reminder… don’t read too much into each song!  Sure, some are blatant love songs, of course they are, but some are just songs we love to sing together or to/at each other - though you can certainly see where October, where we only saw each other for one day, played quite a role in the music selection…

  And with that, I think I’ll get to hurrying up to shuttin’ up and get this music going on as…
