A.M. 180: eighty minute mixtape

This blog is officially 2 years old today. In honor of the occasion I decided to pull together some mp3s from my collection and create something pretty eclectic and resembling a mixtape. The disparate song selection was a bit of an experiment. Some of the transitions are a little awkward (time constraints, y'know?), but I think it turned out pretty good overall. The goal was more towards fun/interesting music with some pop elements than obscurity. If it looks a bit strange, that's because I picked songs without any idea in mind of how they were going to go together. But I did attempt to create something that flows, and there is a logic to the the order (I swear!).
