This is the beginning of the single greatest music project we have ever attempted at the Thousands. The birth of a MixTape library that will grow each week via the skilled ears of our music editors and with the monthly input of super guest editors who are not almost famous... they are famous. Apart from rescuing the whole notion of mix tapes from the depths of obscurity, this will also rescue your music library from doldrums... and arguably rescue some underpaid artists from the poverty line. Make sure you visit us each Tuesday when the MixTape updates with sounds from the frontier of human endeavour.
Mixtape No: 8
Word has it that psychedelic is the next big thing in music. Well maybe it already is if you count the band of the moment, MGMT as psychedelic. But to do so would be like crediting Blondie for the golden years of gangsta rap, just not quite right.
So here at The Thousands we're jumping on the bandwagon nice and early, taking in something current and then putting it in reverse and driving back to when it all started. Take a listen now before the next big thing rehashes it and claims it for themselves.
