Comments on the mix: Sometimes I feel like I get backlogged with music that hasn't found its way onto my mixes just yet and I have to do a catch up mix to find a place for it all. This is a combo of stuff I've been holding on to, stuff I just discovered, and a few old favorites just for mandalaya. Given the time of year, the title was a no-brainer.
