There was once a very lovely, very frightened girl. She lived alone, except for a nameless cat. Non est ad astra mollis e terris via. Vi veri veniversum vivus vici. Si vi pacem para bellum. De profundis clamavi. Memento mori. Carpe diem.

We're OurStage, a community of musicians, producers, writers, drummers, lawyers, ad managers, guitarists, executives, banjo players, and - most importantly - music lovers. So, as fans, we've decided to use this platform to highlight our collectively spectacular taste in music (if we do say so ourselves) by bringing you weekly mixtapes from members of our staff. Every Monday and Friday you'll find a new playlist, featuring some of our favorite OurStage artists alongside tons of music you'll probably recognize. A little musical fingerprint, if you will. Enjoy, and let us know what you think. If you like what you hear, come visit us at OurStage.com - the best place on the Web for discovering new music.

I rock

So my name is Matt. I listen to virtually every and any type of music, omitting most country, and I mainly love indie and electronic music. I get called a hippie basically every day, and that's because I am :3 So sit back, watch the planet spin, and listen to some awesome and crazy music that I've collected over the days.

Just a random music lover.
