Brief Description: "Some of you may already know that I have been trying to revive the lost art of the mixtape. The mixtape is at the edge of extinction and even though many of us may not miss the limitations of the magnetic cassette (e.g. no skip function) you have to admit you miss the little thing, you miss dubbing cads, taping songs off the radio and making and receiving mixes. And it's probably been a while since any of you have been handed one of these from a girl or guy with a nervous smile and an "I hope you like this." And that's what I'm trying to change. I'm the girl in the lunchroom with pigtails and braces and I have a crush on all of you and want to give you a mixtape of my favorite songs. This blog is the future of the lost art of mixtape making. The tapes are gone, but the personal touch is back. And if you like what you hear (you can listen to partial mixes) you can drop me a line at mixtapesbringsmiles@gmail.com to be added to the email list to find out whenever a new mix is posted. The ipod is convenient as a bastard, but the random function isn't really doing for you what I can."
