Sugar & Spice & Everything Nice!

Hello! I'm very excited to have been invited to participate in this year's Carpool Challenge. Being a bit of a self-professed music snob, this will prove to be both a fun and difficult undertaking. The theme of my first mix came about as a direct result - I assume - of my personality: I'm sweet, pack a punch, but deep down am just plain nice. Right gents?

While putting this mix together, I discovered that I have quite an affinity for both female lead vocalists and strings. I'm not sure what that says about me, but I'm sure there are some deep, dark, Freudian implications.

I am truly humbled to have my mix(s) become a part of this entertaining tradition. So, here it goes, the first mix of the 2010-2011 school year.
