VSQ Employee Mixtape #1: Marketing Department

posted on November 3rd, 2009 by VSQ

We created this unofficial series to help you uncover the precious gems that are buried in the depths of our impressive and seemingly endless catalog. While creating our lists we’ve found tributes we didn’t even know existed and we’ll be sharing this valuable information with you in weekly installments of playlists from the experts themselves, The VSQ Staff. So get your headphones ready because we’re about to take you on a tour through the best, the classic and the weirdest Vitamin String Quartet tributes to be found.

Mixtape #1: Marketing Department
If you read VSQ tweets, visit the VSQ facebook page or follow the VSQ blog then you are already familiar with Taylor, our marketing guru and genius behind the first playlist in our new VSQ Employee Mixtape Series. If there was a movie made about Taylor’s life experiences, the songs below would make up the score. Each track is reminiscent of a funny story, a melancholy day, a momentary epiphany. See if you can listen to this playlist without feeling a nostalgic pull on the heartstrings.
