A song you sing loud and proud, when you are on your own in the car/shower. 3. You Favourite Cover Version 4. A song you would have liked your 18 year old self to hear. 5. A song to let the listener know you are romantically interested. 6. Bonus Track - Something a bit leftfield or obscure. Or an album track or B side Find video episodes and more content at my website: www.themixtapepodcast.com
