A sweet mix by Stefan (powered by opentape).
Look, it’s 53 minutes of solid tracks from talented women in indie. I kind of have to buy EVERY FEATURED ARTIST. It’s that kind of quality.

Another mix by vitriol. I had to post it; Stefan will just love it.

Include a Bad Horse Ringtone. Yes, a Bad Horse Ringtone.

That mix I just posted - the “perfect” mix - is perfect.
So, thanks for making my job irrelevant, Stefan.

I’ve really gotten into online mixtapes lately (muxtape: nevar forget) and generally trusting my daily personal soundtrack to the crowd and random chance. So, I’m using this to share the stuff I discover.
