So Alfredo Torres wrote a blog post up over at HamptonRoads.com listing his pics for a locals only mixtape. I applaud the idea. Torres didn’t build any links out to any of the bands listed so I figured I’d start a #HRVMixtape hashtag on Twitter and post up the links to the bands’ mySpace, YouTube or mp3 links.

As I was posting Torres’s pics, a few other people started adding their picks as well. I’m still posting to it and hopefully others will their own down the road. I think this is a great way to discover good local music.

So check the stream for all the good picks and add your own by posting a Tweet with #HRVMixtape, the name of the band, the song, a link to a page where we can hear such song.
