I’m going to give a try at doing a monthly mix/collection of tracks. I’ve been thinking about adding this to the site for a long time now, both as a way to ensure that there is a more dependable feed of music recommendations, as well to point out some good tracks without having to do a full writeup for each song. So yeah, the long and short of it is that this should allow me to continue to be lazy about posting, without having to feel like I’m not doing anything for the site.
The first mix is up here. If you’re wondering why its 10 tracks, its because I have 10 fingers. And it’s an even number. But if I loose a finger in a freak email-typing incident, don’t worry – it’ll go down to 9. The tracks will stay up for one month and I’ll change them out for new ones at or around the 1st of each month. The mix page is pretty pathetic looking right now, but I’ll work on that. Enjoy and let me know what you think.
