Every year I create a playlist, a “mixed tape” if you will, of my favourite tracks. I give this to friends as gifts and the like. Just sharing the love and all. I’ve done it for a few years now but it’s been a bit hard (read I’ve not taken the time to do it…) to share this easily with you if I’m not going to physically see you. Enter Youtube.
