According to Suburban Home Records founder, Virgil Dickerson, he was inspired by a documentary he saw about mix tape culture in hip-hop and decided to put one together himself. It features bands from the Suburban Home Records roster as well as artists that he's a big fan of. And as he says on the CD cover:
Burn it, share it, post it on your blog or send it out through Sendspace or Yousendit. If you find an artist you like please find their releases, check out their shows and tell others about them. Most of these artists are on small labels and need word of mouth to help spread the word about what they're doing.
I can get behind that. So, here is a link to the entire CD for you to download, link to … whatever.
