VSQ Employee Mixtape #2: The Art Department

posted on November 11th, 2009 by VSQ

Please welcome the second installment of our new series of employee playlists, designed by the experts themselves – the VSQ staff! Like we said in our first post, we designed this series to help fans discover VSQ tracks they may have never found otherwise – and show off our impeccable and discerning musical taste! Last week we visited Taylor in the Marketing Department to see what was on her iTunes rotation. This week, lets check out what the art department is spinning.

Mixtape #2: Art Deparment
Deep in the bowls of this ship we call “the art department” lies the desk of graphic designer Steven (aka PONG). If you had the chance to go through his itunes library you’d see he(I love referring to myself in 3rd person) is into a lot of music. There’s so much in the VSQ catalog, and narrowing down the fav’s is not a task for the faint at heart(look at me ma! I’m blogging!).
