My clever friend Zak Schultz had this ingenious idea to start what he called a "Mixed Tape League." 12 members, 12 months, 12 new mixed tapes. Instead of scowering myspace, going from band page to band page to find something new and exciting for your bored-to-death-of-the-same-ole-tunes eardrums, you just look in your mailbox every month for your monthy mixed tape/cd brimming with new music. Here's a little art project I did for the cover art of my mixed tape. The theme was "Do you believe in Rock N' Roll?/Can music save your mortal soul?" the great line from "American Pie." The song not the movie. Knowing the general age range of my reader demographic, I just want to clarify on that one. I made it using a paper stencil I cut out and spraypaint. Note: paper stencils suck. Try using wax paper or cardboard if you can. Otherwise the stencil starts disintegrating halfway into your project like mine did.
