New mystery band: Canoodle
Apparently the mystery band thing is still in full swing as we received another email with very little information and some nice tunes late last night.

iTunes Mixery
For those who don’t know, this is the eleventh iTunes Mixery. Here’s how it goes: I play iTunes on shuffle -> tell you which song comes up -> provide the mp3 and a tidbit -> continue until five songs and embarrassment are complete. Again, nothing’s off-limits – I don’t “fix the mix”. Have a look… Continue reading iTunes Mixery
