As many of my Tweet friends know (ARE YOU FOLLOWING ME YET?!), I’m usually not a big fan of mixtapes in the inbox. Call me snooty, but…if you want me to hear your song, don’t send it mashed in between twenty sub-par electroclash tracks–just give it to me straight.

However, I don’t mind MPHO‘s Art of Pop series one bit. Why? Mainly because it’s got some Grace Jones and Beysus in it, but also because it’s enjoyable background sound for the work week! Plus, it’s got plenty of snippets from MPHO’s debut album, Pop Art, due later this year.
