That is totally cool. I like to think that when we make mix cds for friends that they will discover something new that they like. Then, I hope that they go out and see that band when they come nearby their town OR they go out and buy the whole album by that band.
I know that when I worked at the radio station in college we always got some free stuff to listen to at home so that we could talk about it on the air. That is kinda the same idea with the free samplers that Spin, Paste, iTunes/Facebook, and others give out. A lot of the indie labels have free samplers to download on amazon. I have found a bunch of gems through them.
Sue and I will continue to make mixes for friends and we hope that you go out and support the music in every way that you can.
