Mixtape Banner

This is the beginning of the single greatest music project we have ever attempted at the Thousands. The birth of a MixTape library that will grow each week via the skilled ears of our music editors and with the monthly input of super guest editors who are not almost famous... they are famous. Apart from rescuing the whole notion of mix tapes from the depths of obscurity, this will also rescue your music library from doldrums... and arguably rescue some underpaid artists from the poverty line. Make sure you visit us each Tuesday when the MixTape updates with sounds from the frontier of human endeavour.

Call Me Up

Mixtape No: 21

With Rooftop Cinema's season starting, and us sharing an office with those freaks, the phone seems to be ringing off the hook. Having that constant slight annoyance and the lyrics of De La Soul's "Ring Ring Ring" running through my head, I was able to put together this mix of telephone related songs in between giving everyone who called us the wrong advice. Just know that if you get Pat at Right Angle when you call the Rooftop number, you've already lost.
