Not A Top Ten List

I've never been much for the tradition of "best of" and "year end" lists. But I'm all for the tradition of sharing and spreading the word on good music. Tape trading the way it used to be. So let's do something else.

Here are ten excellent releases from ten excellent labels, all offered up for grabs no strings attached on a first come first serve basis. A way to say thank you to everyone who spent a moment of their time this year reading about what I've listened to. I've broken them into groups of two to help maintain my sanity a bit. If you have interest drop me an email at guidemelittletape at gmail dot com. I'll try to update as quickly as I can which ones are gone. Feel free to list a few in order of preference. And for goodness sake, if you see/hear something awesome, use the links and go support these artists and labels.

Thanks to everyone who claimed a batch of freebies! Tapes will be in the mail tomorrow. Enjoy and best wishes.
