Love Mixtape Contest

When it comes to love and romance, few things can set the mood better than a song.  For me, music is always tied to certain moments, and it doesn’t necessarily need to be a love song for it to convey the sense of emotion and power that comes with love.  To celebrate the approach of Valentine’s Day and all things love, we’ve decided to hold another mixtape contest! This one around the theme of love, of course :).

Here’s how to enter:

Create a mix of 5 – 10 songs around the theme of love.  All you have to do is go to our RDIO page and add 5- 10 songs to our collaborative playlist, Love Mixtape Contest”.  I’ve started it off with some songs below.  Once you’re finished adding songs, come back and leave a comment on the blog listing your songs – be sure to include your email address!  We will review all submissions and select a winner in one week – the winner’s mix will be featured on the blog and they will also receive a pair of Frends headphones!

If you aren’t familiar with RDIO, you can register for free – then simply click on the link above to our mix, and click on the button that says “collaborate on this playlist.”  You will be able to search for songs and add them to the playlist right there on the page.
