Mixtapes
|
November 2008 |
Some of these songs pop up again on my December mix and my 2008 favorites. And again, SXSW 2008 and lots of listening to KCRW are to blame for more than a few of the selections. Some interesting cover tunes too. |

Sorry so slow with the review! How did you manage to put together so many songs that start with "A" together, and still make it sound good? I liked a lot of the older stuff on the mix, overall good deal, sir, good deal! If you'd ever like to swap mixes, let me know and I'm up for it! |
