So I’m pleased to announce the first edition of the Left of the Dial Muxtape!  I picked out twelve tracks from yesterday’s show to share with all of you, so even if you missed the show you can still hear some of the songs I played.

If you start your own Muxtape, let me know about it.  Until then, I’m going to keep thinking of ways I can use this for my own purpose.
