A whole year has past and this is the centenary edition of Monthly Mixtapes…I’m impressed I’ve managed to keep it going…long live the Mixtape!
Mixtape#10 – November/December 07
1, Enjoy Destroy – LBJ … Supported Alter Bridge @ Astoria, this is as great a rock ballad your likely to hear!
2, Alter Bridge – Broken Wings … The plinth sitting centre piece of their crazy live show
3, Damone – Out here All Night … Imagine if Justin Hawkins recruited Avril Lavigne as lead singer of the Darkness…intrigued?? … Have a listen!

6, Nada Surf – See These Bones … The return single from these north american indie heroes
7, Crash Kelly – Hang Out Where You Know … Canadians with a thirst for T-rex with this riff driven cock-rock fest
