TMMT: The Link-o-rama playlist
Ok here is the next installment of my mixtapes. However, this months theme involves some thinking! Each track can be linked to the one that follows it, now this might be by band members, production credits, guest spots, etc.
What you need to do is guess all the links correctly and the first one to give me all the answers I have will be rewarded with riches of the drink variety!

Tristan's Monthly Mix Tape - Around The World
Right then, here we have it, a little later than planned so sorry about that but I have it ready for your listening pleasure during the Month of June, so that still counts as the one for this month. Quite what I am going to come up with for July I have no idea, but any suggestions are welcome!
This months theme was suggested by Zoe and it takes you on a trip around the world, which might seem pretty obvious given the name. I've tried to (where possible) stick to my previously outlined rules for these mix tapes and specifically for this one have attempted to keep it only Capital Cities and Country names in the titles of th songs, but there are a couple of FAILS in there, see if you can spot them!
Anyway the track listing for the track listing, why not take a look at this handy little pic, it'll help you see what you're getting for your money (not that you have to pay for these mix tapes, THEY'RE FREE!!!)
So if you would like to download this here mix tape then all you need to do is click here and it'll all be one handy ZIP file which you can unpack and then load on your nondescript MP3 player! :)
Anyway I'm off to enjoy some sun and think of what to do next month!
until then... ROCK!
