As I approach graduation here in Santa Barbara I think back on all of the times I spent searching for something to take from this place. In the beginning it was searching for a particular party on the 65 block. Then it was the best spot to surf for a beginner surfer from Ohio. It progressed into searching for what knowledge I could take from the learning experience. It is only after four years that I can finally sit here and profess the knowledge I gained from this town is more than just on how to pregame properly before headed to DP, Downtown, or OTT; the knowledge I absorbed in this paradise they call Isla Vista is how to take the best from any situation while still having a great time. I felt it appropriate to throw in a track from UCSB Alum Jack Johnson. However don't be fooled, while this track may be mellow like sitting on Sands staring at the Crystal Ship, this track is one that is sure to prepare you for that next step.
Rostam Batmanglij of Vampire Weekend, has gone under the moniker of Boys Like Us to invent his solo imaginative remixes of uncommonly remixed artists such as this one by Jack Johnson and the following by Foreign Born. Both of these tracks are sure to give you good vibes as you prepare for finals (not real life) or drive to your job (fuck thats real life). Enjoy.
