Lily’s Mix Tape Mash-Up & Sunday Playlist

Firstly

mixtapeswap-copy-300x231So, in my attempt to be a fully interactive blogger and make as many online friends as possible (I am a social butterfly!)…I’ve joined in yet another…er…I don’t know what you’d call it…but anyhoo!

Lily at Lilyspeak has had a great idea:

The Ultimate Music Swap

The idea is basic – By Friday, May 1 leave a comment (here) letting me know you want to play and maybe what artist or song YOU KNOW you’d include on the playlist.  Then next week, I’ll randomly* match everyone up with another blogger.  Your task is to create a mix tape (or CD, or playlist on a jump drive…) to send to each other.  Pick new favorites, old favorites, up-and-coming local bands, artists you can’t live with out and anything you think needs to be shared with the world.  When you get your mixtape/CD/playlist from your new friend, let us know what music you discovered and what your favorites are!”

If you’re keen to join in do as it says above, go to Lily’s blog and leave a comment, you then need to email her your address – she has put a note about this in the post as well!!  Plus, I have done something amazing I never knew you could do and so I think you should definitely do this and pray that you get my mix-tape – it’s goooooooooooooooooooooood!!

And now on to my Sunday playlist.  It’s raining here so I’m not so upbeat as usual – although there are a couple of sneaky tracks in there that would definitely make me crank up the volume and dance around (you’ll know these when they come along because they definitely don’t fit the theme!!!).

Standalone player

I know there are only 9 tracks (there’s usually 10), but I got frustrated trying to link in #10.  It’s a song called Arcadia and is by a band called Sweet Fontaine (made up of my friend Joe and his brothers!) – they’re excellent…check them out!!!

I love anything with a beat (hence my ridiculously varied taste in music) so anything new is welcomed!! x

Hahahah I leave for like a couple days and everyone is swapping music, and changing their blog layouts!

I have so much new music to download right now.
