The Concept Mixtape

You know you've got too much spare time on your hands when you start considering making concept mixtapes. A normal mixtape just doesn't feel enough. You need to do one where all the songs are about cars (to listen to in the car) or all the songs are from the same year.


Maybe the songs all have violins on them. Maybe all the artists are Swedish. Maybe the songs all begin with a drum intro. Maybe all the singers have beards. Or maybe they're all side-projects.

Sometimes you don't have enough songs to fill up a whole tape. Which means something else, something maybe even more ambitious: the double concept mixtape. One side of songs about travelling, one side of songs about home. One side of male solo artists, one side of females... the possibilities are endless.
