Weekend Mixtape!!! 4/24/2009

There are weeks that go by unnoticed, weeks where tons of cool stuff happens, weeks that go by quickly...

This week: 1 Giant Leap feat. Robbie Williams, Seal, Death From Above 1979, Electric Six, Mylo, Jamiroquai and more.

As always, be safe. And if you'd like to check out more of these Weekend Mixtapes and other little ditties, please visit HERE.

This mix features The Roots, The Smiths, TV on the Radio, Jamiroquai, Hefner, Hot Chip, Daft Punk, New Order, VHS or Beta, Metallica, The Teenagers, Office, MGMT, Snoop Dogg, The Presets, Radiohead, The Kills, Beck, Brazilian Girls, Royksopp, Taken by Cars, Queen, Nine Inch Nails, Santogold, The Cure and lots more. Enjoy.

Springing from the legendary scouting, tracking, and wilderness survival skills of Apache warriors, OnPoint Tactical Survival School teaches training for modern-day professionals and civilians who want to learn the kinds of advanced outdoor skills they don't teach in college.



OnPoint Tactical trains elite units like SEALs and Force Recon, as well as law enforcement units like the US Marshals. Now, just like John Locke, you can earn a professional certification in skills specialized for urban life, like Urban Escape and Evasion, Search & Rescue (SAR) tracking, as well as more traditional survival techniques like primitive wilderness survival, animal trapping, camouflage, off grid medical care, and counter and anti-tracking. Now you'll know what to do when the machines begin to take over. Click pic for more.
