"TWO hot to handle, TWO cold to hold..."

This month (well, last month really) Julie is doubling our pleasure with two mixtapes! All of the tunes on the official mix have a unifying element to them -- I'll let you guys figure it out. The bonus mix was whipped up as a tribute to the K of P of sorts, and it should be making an appearance on the blog sometime soon, once I figure out my imeem upload capacity issues. In the meantime, just moonwalk over to your mailbox for the hard copy.

Bonus Mix:

"Mood swing I can't let you win/ You bring me up, you bring me down..."

Feeling schizophrenic? This mix is for you. There are more ups and downs on it than a game of Chutes and Ladders. Bonus points to Suzanne for not putting something obvious (and dare I say shitty?) like "No Rain" on her May-weather-themed mix.
