DOWNLOAD putting these together has made me realize how much I need some new music in my life. lately all I seem to listen to are the Head & the Heart, Bon Iver, and the National. albums that aren't easily worn out, true, but I still need something fresh. I am going to be all over these mixes as they get posted. I can't wait to see the responses to my prompts: one for Erik/Charles, and one for Kono.
