The MIX(ed)TAPE 2 Charting Across the Country
DJ Hullewud and I sent The MIX(ed)TAPE 2 to all campus radio stations in Canada. It includes brand new hip-hop from a variety of acts. All of the tracks on it were exclusive to the mix at the time of its release. DJ Hullewud mixed one side of it and I, Chase March, mixed the other. We even released it on limited edition cassette and CD.

What’s That Song? A Jim Gaffigan Mixtape
Jim Gaffigan is one of my favourite comedians. I had the crazy idea of mixing some of his material with songs that complimented it.
It all started with cake. Gaffigan has a hilarious bit that I thought would be even more funny when mixed into Flo Rida’s “Cake”. When I dug deeper, I found a pretty cool birthday theme and decided to run with it.

Quotes Come Alive with Zen Pencils
There are a lot of quotation books on the market, but none are quite like this. The creator of this book takes some of the most inspirational quotes and turns them into brilliant comic strips. The images enhance the words and hammer the message home in a way that is truly inspirational.

I found this book at a school library where I was supply teaching last month and it called to me. It’s an old book but the history in absolutely fascinating. I highly doubt that anything like this exists in a more modern work. That’s probably why it is still on the shelf. It was published in 1975.
