Remember mix tapes? Mix tapes were chock full of good stuff that your friends thought you'd like to listen to that maybe you hadn't heard of. This is my mix tape for all of you.

This virtual mix tape has a little of everything, from the more underground college bands like The Breeders (The Deal sisters from The Pixies), to Neko Case (who “sang” with Lou Reed before going solo), to more recent bands like The Weepies, Okkervil River, and Fleet Foxes.

These are in no particular order and are meant to give you a random sampling to whet your appetites for more.
