Danielage! presents: Best of 2016 Mixtape

2016 has come and gone and this is my 10th (~!) year of doing these mixtapes for a very limited group of people/friends. Anyways - you guys all know the drill - my favourite songs from the past year, neatly arranged into 3 volumes of mixtapes (RAR files), sorted chronologically (so I don't have to obsess/drive myself crazy over track listings/orders - I learned my lesson after the first year) and once again hosted ever so generously by my friend Scott. If you like what you hear - go out and support these artists - buy their records (on vinyl), go see them live (those of which didn't break up by the end of the year), stream them on whatever service of that nature you use (or you could go kill yourself, blargh) or however you digest music in general.
