Once upon a time, before there ever was Jukebox Heart, there was Moonlight Radio. Similar in ambition, Moonlight Radio wanted to share music with friends and people he loved. Though it was pretty and fun, it aso demanded a lot of time and attention of its users. Jukebox Heart came along and provided similar access with a lot less effort. Now and then, we like to bring some of the music forward from Moonlight Radio. Tonight’s mix is culled from the June 2007 edition of Moonlight Radio.
