This Valentine's Day, don't get your main squeeze an oversized bouquet of balloons or a chocolate replica of your genitals (again). Instead, do what savvy troubadours and creative (read: broke) lovers have done for centuries: write a song. Our good friends at LA Record are releasing a Valentine's Mixtape, compiled by local musicians. Deadline is Feb. 11th, so get cracking!
