With Lollapalooza right around the corner, what better to prepare us than a mixtape? Here is my pick for the perfect Lolla 08 Prep Mix. Think I’m way off base? Let us know what you think the perfect mix would be in the comments.

I’ve always loved mixing tracks and giving the CD’s away to my friends. At this point, it’s the closest I can get to being a record producer. But seriously, check out these songs from some of the best names in indie rock. I’ll be sure to update the playlists as often as possible with new tracks from new bands. Drop me a comment and let me know your favorites and/or suggestions. To play just double-click the song title. Enjoy!Playlist:
