Last year around this time I put together a mixtape and encouraged others to make their own playlists so we could discover new music together.
I just put together this year’s list on grooveshark. For your listening pleasure, click here!

Listening to your mix. Very cool so far. Thanks for sharing this.
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!! (‘If I Had A Boat’, my favourite, despite my being a major Muse fan!) Most warm and uplifting, especially on a cold, bitter day, thank you for sharing! Joly@bigwhitewall.com
great list! love your music taste, and some good ones in here for me to check out that were new to me. To return the favor, here are a few albums I’m digging right now that might fit well with your mixtape:
– the new Feist album, Metals
– Shangri-La by YACHT
– Self titled albums by Cults and Megafaun
Thanks again for sharing!
Fantastic! Thanks!
Love this – chilled and active, flow and passion, harmony and heart. Such a sweet and thoughtful share Venessa – thank you so much.
I’m also enjoying Kirtan chants (Deva Premal, the Mayapuris) helps me transcend and meditate; have been revisiting Armeno (Era) and opera (Pavarotti) for the sheer exhilaration of sound. And everything else from Bach to dubstep mixes. Music is such a soundtrack of life – it’s so good to look back and be able to access it all and share too.
Listening to it now – love it! I’ll try and put some music together too, to share 🙂
Love it Love it….Its really fun and cool…..
