Finally. It took me 10 full weeks of careful selection. Some hits, some misses, some singles, some albums, a little of everything…but I finally burnt through the $100 or so I had in iTunes money from my birthday this past May. The final 10 or so were comprised of random selections from bands that I have wanted to check out, but have yet to. Some off of recommendations from friends, some from iTunes “also bought” engine, some from Pitchfork, Blender, MTV2, some were just songs I liked and wanted to buy. After nearly 100 new songs, here were the final purchases, all smooshed into one neat little mix cd.
