Ryan's Record Crate Mix 1

This mixtape was created for you by sifting through a big crate of my amazing boyfriend, Ryan Hora's records ... And boy, does he have immaculate taste in music!!! I get dizzily overwhelmed just thinking about his complete vinyl collection ... haha

So this is part 1 (the sparkling instrumental half) of music collected from Ryan's record crate, and it's quite an adventure of a mix! I have to say that it's truly an eclectic listening experience and also an extremely unpredictable one, which is probably one thing that makes it so incredibly listenable ...

And now here it is, folks ... Try to get yer unprepared ears ready to delve into Ryan's magic RECORD CRATE!!!

1st of all, just when I was gettin in a chilly weather / Halloween frame of mind, what does it do here in Alabama? Of course it gets HOT again! ARRRGH!!!

Aaaanywaaay, I'm still trying to get "in the spirit" cuz surely it'll turn nippy again before All Hallow's Eve (*knock on wood!!!*) ...

So with that in mind, as always this time of year, I start foraging for hot fresh undiscovered online Halloween music and creepy sound effects records ... and this awesome site (Music You Possibly Won't Hear Any Place Else) always has these really great Halloween "Slaylists" ... check em out if you find yerself craving some spooky October music!

ENJOY!!!

This past Saturday, Ryan and I packed up a ton of our old clothes, records, CDs, DVDs and VHS tapes and participated in Bottletree's fleamarket ... It was pretty fun and Ryan ended $elling a good deal of his stuff!
