Hello there, April. You totally came in on the sly!
To kick off the new month with a bang, I'm going to give away three copies of my March and April 2012 playlist (just like what I did here). Please leave a comment below telling me your favorite song of the moment.
I'll mail out the CDs to the first three commenters tomorrow. Cheers!
Growing up, I didn't know much about music. I listened a lot of Top 40's, watched a lot of MTV, and called it a day. It wasn't until my little brother would make me playlists for my drive to my apartment in college that I really began to understand the value of music and the emotional component that takes you over when words can't form. Around the same time, I was bartending at a monthly grassroots jam that brought together community, consciousness and culture in Chinatown. It was eye-opening and awe-inspiring.
My musical tastes truly began expanding once I started taking dance classes. I began focusing on finding music that resonated with me - and the moods I needed to express. I'd like to think my range is pretty eclectic - I love everything from Pharcyde to Jay Z, Miles Davis to The Black Keys, Britney Spears to Lana Del Rey. And it's ever changing.
As a peace offering for my recent absense, I made three extra copies of my January and February 2012 playlist as a continuation of my Twenty.Eight list. Please leave a comment below telling me your favorite song of the moment. I'll mail out the CDs to the first three commenters.
