Leftover Mixes Blog

My friend (and fellow Buffalo, NY graphic designer) Mark Wisz, recently started a blog called Leftover Mixes where he posts images of the mixtapes he made in the 80s and 90s. A lot of them involve fairly elaborate art work. If you are between 30 and 40-something (like me) these images will likely bring back memories of the physical experience of dealing with music. If you are are younger, they must seem like strange artifacts from another time...
