As promised, here’s a bonus mixtape to help celebrate the new and improved, better than ever C’est Non Un Blog!  And on top of all that, this is actually my 1,800th post!  You can download The Runner-Ups Mixtape here, and if you haven’t already done so make sure you also pick up the Can You Take The Heat??? Mixtape here.

Whenever I add a new song to my iTunes folder that I find particularly fantastic I copy that file into a separate folder that becomes the starting point for the creation of my next new mixtape. This time around I went a little crazy and ended up putting enough songs into that folder to make two mixtapes, so when I decided that it was time to move the website to another host I figured why not go big and create two mixtapes?!  I definitely had the material to do so.  The Runner-Ups Mixtape consists of those songs that I thought were good enough to include in a mixtape, just not good enough to make the cut on the Can You Take The Heat??? Mixtape.

This mixtape is a little mellower than the last.  I tend to want to go big when I create a mixtape, so the tracks that didn’t slap me in the face and demand their inclusion ended up missing the cut the last go around.  These are the songs that, pardon the self-referential pun, couldn’t take the heat.  Even with that said, I think there’s a lot of really fantastic songs on here.  Side note: As an odd cosmic coincidence it was hot and steamy when I put the last mixtape out and it’s cold and rainy today, so it’s almost like these mixtapes were meant to be the way they were eventually put together.

While you wait for your download to finish, if you’d like a taste of what you can expect this go around here’s the music video for AlunaGeorge’s “Your Drums, Your Love”.  Enjoy, let me know if you like what I’m doing, and thanks again for downloading these mixtapes!
