Three cheers to Allen Lulu for guest-hosting this mix!
I am really excited by this. 30 tracks that I have never heard by bands I barely know. And, if we’ve done our jobs, each track should be the best indicator and rep of the album. Which means, not only do I have a great new sampler of music, but I could potentially be lightening my wallet to buy a bunch of new rekkids.
Thanks to all who participated. I hope you find something to like in my bunch.
I’ve posted a little somethin about em on my blog.
Mostly thanks to the Green Monkey. It wa s treat to be a part of it!
This is a very hip mix. I’m scared.
I can hardly wait to sink my teeth into everybody’s mixes! This was a way too fun green monkey mix challenge, and if I am not mistaken, it’s about the 25th one in which I have had the honour of participating. I think I deserve a plaque.
My post is up!
Finally, my post is up!
