Uncle Eddy’s Mixtapes: The Teenage Tune Picks of an Aspiring Chrome Plating Shop DJ
I think this episode’s mixtape has to be the most varietous one I’ve posted so far. (Yeah I made up a word… maybe I should have used “eclectic”??? I don’t know… I’m sticking with “varietous”… I like it) So far, all the mixes I’ve posted have all been from one era/genre… but this one spans…
