    Here are some newer musical pettifours to cut down those rapidly oncoming winter blues. I guess, I got really into making this mix. I fell in love with all of the songs and wanted to know more about them. So I asked. Everyone on the mix has been so kind and supportive of this project, and from this kindness a variety of interviews have spawned. Good music is contagious, you know? You want to share it with everyone you care about and hope that they’ll love it just as much as you do.

    “Good music is contagious, you know?”

    The interviews from the mix will be posted weekly here on Pure Pop’s blog and will span the course of a few months. Currently there are 50 (out of an edition of 100) copies of the mix available. The cd sleeves are handmade by me from recycled Burlington show flyers. The photograph on the front I took with my ½ frame camera last winter, here in Burlington. A digital download as well as the physical copy  will be available very soon, for free of course – keep checking back. Until then:

    TUNE IN THIS WEDNESDAY to MIXTAPE
