12 songs by Emily Backus

Hey world wide web angels,

​We love music and summer is for mixtapes so we made a "getting to know you" playlist challenge with prompts for each song called 12 SONGS and sent it to friends to get to know them better. Make your own if you feel like it!

If you make one send it to us at [email protected] if you want, include an informal pic and bio and we might feature it on the blog through out the summer. 

Here is the first playlist by Emily Backus who is a kickass musician herself (go and listen to MOM FRIEND!):
