MEET RECORD EXCHANGE RECORD STORE DAY MIXTAPE CONTEST WINNER ATHENA BARKDULL — AND HEAR HER MIX TODAY AFTER EL TEN ELEVEN!

Congratulations to Athena Barkdull, winner of the second annual Record Exchange Mixtape Contest!

Athena’s mix, Feels Like You, features songs from My Morning Jacket, Sigur Ros, Damien Jurado, Sufjan Stevens, Broken Social Scene, Explosions in the Sky, Van Morrison, Sharon Van Etten and a bunch of other artists we really like.

Oh yeah, and she created some really pretty artwork and included a notebook with poetic musings on each track. Needless to say, it was a stellar piece of mixtape-itude — which made our decision easily unanimous.

Thanks to Boise Weekly writer Tara Morgan for being a guest celebrity judge (and for her great article on Record Store Day)!

You can hear Athena’s mix following the El Ten Eleven Record Store Day in-store at 5 p.m. today!
