Love Is A Mix Tape

I stumbled upon a Facebook group quite some time ago, through a friend's event, and have since been inspired to make, and introduced to, collections of music - in the form of the old fashioned mix tape. Of course, this is a burnt CD nowadays, but a similar effect.

The group, love is a mix tape has the tagline 'Make a mixtape, send a mixtape, get a mixtape', and the brains behind it proposes a theme for a mixtape swap, collects participants, urging "Doer Daniels" only. You are then provided with a recipient, and set to mix your collection of songs. You send to the address provided, most likely to another land, and then receive an equalled poured over collection to the same theme. Brilliant!

So this is the mix I put together for the V Day Swap, in February this year. Built around the Jeff Buckley number, a bit of unrequited/love lost mix.....
