mp3 Mixtape: Friday Mixtape CXX

Happy year 5771! Well, for some people at least. And happy almost 2011 for some others!  Not only do we have a bunch of new singles, covers, and songs that might become future favorites, but we have a new logo for the Friday Mixtape! We think it’s pretty great, just like these tunes.

As always, below you’ll find a mix of this week’s best new singles, remixes, and covers (brought to you by Cover Me) along with mp3s from some up and comers you just might want to check out.
