SUBURBAN HOME RECORDS Mix Tape Volume 1 “Raising Hell & Living Cheap” CD (5 Copies FREE!)

Do you remember when you would discover new music by picking up compilation CDs? Long before the internet, Myspace, and Bit Torrent sites, I found out about new bands by picking up compilations like Punk Sucks, Fat Music for Fat People, Punkorama, Mailorder is Fun, and the Misfits of Ska. The internet has pretty much killed the cheapo sampler, but a few weeks back, I found myself reminiscing the discovery of new music through sampler CDs when I watched the documentary, Mixtape, Inc. The documentary followed the mixtape culture prevalent in Hip Hop and discussed the legal grey area in which they exist. Years ago, I used to make mix tapes with friends and send them out with orders and watching this documentary got me excited to do it again. I made a mix tape, had Brandon put together art, and have been burning copies of the mix on our CD burner with hopes of making 1,000 mixtapes.

I’d like to introduce you to the Suburban Home Records’ Mixtape and welcome you to pick up our first volume, “Raising Hell & Living Cheap”. The title was lifted from a lyric in the Tim Barry song, “Thing of the Past” which starts off this mixtape. The first 3 songs are Tim Barry tracks since I used his new album as inspiration for the mixtape. There are 24 songs on this mixtape that test the time constraints of a CDr. Of the 24 tracks about half are from Suburban Home artists. The other half are from artists I love new and old. Take a look at the track listing and you will see what I am talking about.

I want to encourage people to share these mixtapes by taking advantage of the following offer. Add this item to your cart for FREE (just pay shipping) and we will send you 5 copies of the mixtape. We ask that you please keep 1 and give 4 to friends. I also encourage you to yousend the mixtape to friends, post it on your blog, and burn it for others. I hope to mix some of your favorite artists with artists you have yet to hear and hope you can turn others on to the music we all love. Please give me your thoughts on the mixtape and know that I have more planned for the near future.

Please tell others about this mixtape and tell them to pick up some through our store. Please retweet this post and/or post it on Facebook, email, or Myspace. Thanks.
