Mixtapes have been my constant, and this is a mix I've wanted to work on for a little while. Now, I have the incentive to finish it, as a celebration for the twentieth mix contest.

This is a mix of songs and artists that were all introduced to me through mix exchanges. These songs have stuck with me and have grown on me immensely. I thank everyone mentioned below for schooling me well. Cheers!

Like the cover I 'shopped? Best of luck to Desmond, Penny and to the lady in the photo.

tracklist

1 Billy Bragg : She's Got a New Spell
From Kate (MIXSPACE) July 2005

My favorite tape. I knew this task would be brutal because I took these mixes for granted and all I know about this tape is that it was recorded over a Jason Donovan Ten Good Reasons tape, and it is from "Kate". She set the bar very high for cassette packaging. This tape has been a constant.
