In My Headphones - Mixtape (Version 1.0)

It's that time of year again. Two weeks to go until finals week, the weather's heating up, and you feel like burning a CD or loading up your iPod and taking a nice leisurely walk around campus. But, you ask yuorself, what should I be listening to?

Well, as your local music junkie buddy, I'm here to help. Here's the first of what I hope will be a monthly update to the blog, a list of the music I'm currently walking around listening to, in convenient "mix tape" form. Get it while it's hot, because these tracks take up a lot of bandwidth, which means when I put up Midtape (Version 2.0) next month, the links to this one will disappear. This should give you incentive to check in here throughout the summer, even when my article isn't running in the paper ... because just because it's summer doesn't mean there's nothing worth listening to.

So sit back, fire up your T1 line, and download away! Nearly 80 minutes of great music mixed especially for you! And please feel free to leave comments, I'd like to know what you think works and doesn't work in my mixes ... or about any of my reviews in general :)
