This is a project that I've worked on for a while. I wanted to post the semi-final product. I fell in love with the band The Au Pairs this year and they have a song called "What Kind of Girl", I thought I'd try and build a mix around it. Here go. I call it dHarmony, trying to be clever. I made this with the FTOTZ group in mind, so I included pop culture reference pictures for each track. Mrs. D is included.
I sen this mix to CherryChapstick, see below, but I changed the name of the mix.----------------------
