Friday Mixtape

This is part of my Life List project to listen to 1,000 new songs. Right now I’m up to 174, and on Fridays I share some of my discoveries. If you’d like to send me your own mix, please email me a link or send a CD to Friday Mixtape c/o Maggie Mason, 766 Valencia St., San Francisco, CA 94115. Happy weekend, everyone.
