With Turkey Day just over a week away, we’ve got plenty to be thankful for here at Affix…not the least of which is great music.  While it’s doubtful that the Pilgrims were bumping Urban beats as they pulled up in The Mayflower to settle The New World, a quick search through our catalogue yielded a bountiful harvest of music that reminded us of Thanksgiving.  Take a listen.  You just might find a new favorite to add to your “Stuck In The Airport” playlist.

After everyone’s had their fill it’s time to throw on the sweatpants and park it on the couch for the annual Thanksgiving Day football game. Now if we could just figure out how to fight off the tryptophan nap until halftime….
