Every music fan knows what it’s like to be the first of your friends to like a band. You can’t shut up about it. This is was part of the reason I started putting mixes together. When you find a good jam, a mix can serve as a musical scrapbook and a way to share hot fire. Phantogram has become one of my favorite bands in recent years. I’ve seen them live several times, I’ve put some songs in mixes, and I’ve even gotten a chance to chat with them after a couple shows. It all started with a jam.
