So you might be asking yourself, where the bloody ‘ell is the bleedin’ Friday Mixtape? This is bollocks!
Well, never you fear. Your web browser of choice has not failed you – at least not in the way that pitiful Cockney accent of yours has. Here’s the deal: the mixtape has always been more fun when it gets passed from one staffer to another, each person bringing their own tastes and collections to the table as they go. So rather than that being a special case, it’s becoming a regular part of our feature. You’ll also find we’re not posting the mixtape every single week, and that’s because most of the contributors have their own columns to produce. Even so, with these new parameters in place, we expect you’ll be pleased with the new (kinda) Weekly Mixtape.
So why, you may ask, am I the inaugural mixer? I… um… uh… IS THAT GEORGE CLOONEY OVER THERE? (Exit, stage left!)
