What It Is

In short it is a depository of the interweb variety for my mixtapes. Both for your sake and for mine when iTunes inevitably reverts back to whatever setup I had back sophomore year.

I'll also probably start making some sort of album art for each one to accompany each post.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the future mixtapes. Feel free to tell me how god awful they are or how freakin awesome you happen to find them. Let me know if you want me to make you a copy or two.
