This mixtape was created by a veteran Psychic Tuesday mixmaster, the ever-lovely Laura Ledbetter.
I was a bit surprised by this mix the 1st time I listened to it ... I didn't expect it to be quite so upbeat and downright danceable! To me, November usually feels like a time to be winding down, so it made me curious as what Laura might be thinking when she threw this excellent playlist together ... She replied, simply :
"It's just to help warm up your floors with some dancing when houses gets cold and dark during winter."
Ah ... message received and understood! What a terrific concept! Dancing away the oncoming gloom of winter and warming yourself up in the process! haha ...
Another thing I like and appreciate about this mix is that the majority of it is comprised of music from the last 2 years or so, but as a whole it already sounds like a classic ... The sounds are new, yet exciting and familiar, so (like a comfortable sweater) it's easy to just put it on over and over.
Thanks Laura!
So here it is ... The "Warm House" mix ... Get ready to shake those cold days away!
Wanna download the warmth? Well you can! RIGHT HERE!

I dunno if you know who Billy Childish is, but he's an extremely prolific and inspiring British musician, poet and painter. HERE is a great recent interview him regarding his new painted works.
