Optional group theme: Spring

*I was going to make a cassette version of this mix, but due to some technical issues with my tape deck (ie. it died) I had to settle for the two MP3 option.

Hope you all dig it.

A different member hosts each month.

Our host will make a mix-tape and distribute it to all the other members.

The host may use and theme that he/she wishes.

The format will be either as an actual cassette mix-tape or as two MP3s roughly 45mins in length to approximate the mix-tape experience.

The track list and any album art provided by the host will be posted on this blog.

In the comments section we can discuss each month’s tape with each other.

The idea is simply to share our favorite music, keep in touch with friends, and learn about some sweet new jams we might not have heard otherwise.
