This is my mix for my friend Ben’s blog of theme based mixtapes. http://thematicmixtapes.com/
This theme is to make a mix tape of songs from one particular year. I choose 1983. That was a defining year of music for me because that’s when Thriller came out and all my 4 year old self wanted to do is listen to that album over and over again. So Monday I was home sick and finally recorded this. It wasn’t rehearsed and done by the seat of my pants. That being said, some of the mixes are rough. Then after I made an intro and some overdubs from movies made that year. Enjoy.
