2) James Hunter - People Gonna Talk

I did compress this one into a zip file; after growing tired of the awful people at EZArchive, I switched to SendSpace.

I hope you're able to download and enjoy my latest mix. Put "discovering new music" at the top of this year's resolutions, and The Mix Tape certainly won't disappoint.

I skipped November. I admit it. But it's only because my ezarchive account went belly up, and I've been trying to settle into this two career life, and I'm in a working relationship with a girl for the first time in several years, and my family was in town, as was hers, and I went home for Thanksgiving, and oh, you don't care...

All said, be looking for a new mix this week featuring music from the movie Stranger Than Fiction, a newfound Rod Stewart obsession, and hopefully - archive pending - a collection of holiday favorites.
