Hey music lovers!

Check out the liner notes and song list for my Round 17 mix? It’s here along with some previous rounds as well. Check it out and let me know what you think in the comments below.

What is it? Well, Mixmasters is a long-running mix tape (now mix CD) exchange. It is currently at seven members and in it’s seventeenth round. Here’s how it works: each person makes a mix CD (up to about 80 minutes) and sends a copy of it to each of the other people. Emphasis is on artists that have not been used in Mixmasters before, so a lot of new music is discovered, good and not quite so good. After all these rounds, most popular artists have been used but there is an amazing amount of great music by lesser-known artists.

Then each person writes a song by song review of everyone else’s mix. Yes, we all review every song on every CD except our own. The results are complied in a publication called The Wheel, a large and fascinating collection.
