Brad L's Fly Mix

This mixtape was created for you by one of Bottletree's amazing and talented sound engineers, Mr. Brad Lightfoot ... I was curious as to why he called this rather superb mix "Fly" and here's what he had to say:

"This is all shit I listen to when I'm on airplanes, in the order that I like to listen to them. Most of them help me sleep or are nice background music for looking out the window."

So, whether yer actually on a plane or not, get ready to TAKE FLIGHT cuz it's a real, real good'un!

Thanks, Brad!!!

Speaking of travel, Brad posted (on twitter) this crazy-real surveillance footage video taken on a cruise ship during really heavy seas ... makes me not wanna go on a cruise ... like ever! haha
