Listen up!

Love is a mixtape.

Songs are so emotive, bringing back memories every time you listen back on a favourite track. The boys that have made me mix tapes have always made me so happy. When I had a tapedeck in my car I listened to tapes over and over and loved every second of it. On Christmas my friend introduced me to 8tracks- an online platform for creating mixtapes, ever since I have spent hours listening to mixtapes and creating my own. Ther rules are that they have to be at least 8 tracks long and only contain two songs by the same artist.

8tracks believes handcrafted music programming trumps algorithms. Think radio in the 1970s, mixtapes in the 1980s, and DJ culture of the 1990s through today. DJs share their talent in taste making, providing exposure for artists. Listeners get a unique blend of word-of-mouth sharing and radio programming — long the trusted means for music discovery — on a global scale.

Here are some of my favourite mix's so far: >the mix tape from 500 days of summer, some excellent covers, songs for waking up in his arms
