Today I inaugurate a new feature here at the Froz-T-Freez: the Froztmix.  As we commence the beautiful hot month of July, this particular froztmix has been made with pure summer listening in mind.

What is a Froztmix?  It is no more and no less than a virtual mixtape.  This particular mix has been calculated to fit on two sides of a 90 minute cassette tape.  Of course, you can also listen to it using the mp3 player of your choice, or burn it onto a CD.

I suggest this mix as ideal for automobile listening while traveling, or for a small but good sounding portable stereo in an echoey basement or bathroom while doing laundry or other chores.

Well, on with it.  Right click on each side and choose “Save as…” to get the goods.

Virginia discovered this one, and took the photo at my request while I drove.

It’s halfway gone.
