Yo! It’s been a bit since I’ve caught up with y’all, been busy with all sort of stuff, but what I always do is listen to music. I just posted up some tracks onto Muxtape.com…how come no one told me about this earlier? Apparently it was just launched in March, but it’s a pretty cool way for wannabe djs to post up some playlist and real djs to post up actual mixes. For us non-djs , it’s sort of like when you used to make record a tape for someone, except easier and all online. According to wikipedia, the website has a pretty cool backstory:

Muxtape is a website that allows users to upload playlists of MP3s, based on the idea of a mixtape. It was created by Justin Ouellette in March of 2008.

Ouellette came up with the idea after being a disc jockey at his university’s radio station. The site became unexpectedly popular within two days of its launch. In April, Ouellette estimated the number of users as “ostensibly … more than the population of Germany, less than the population of Japan”, however this fact is not supported by any third party traffic estimates, which show muxtape userbase at being less than 100,000. The site is supported by links to Amazon.com. It has a very simple design and cannot be searched. Ouellette explains that the important part of a mixtape, which he tried to preserve on his site, is about discovering new music instead of someone finding music they are already familiar with.

Any site that is about discovering new music is cool with me, especially when it has usable features like linking to your current last.fm account to scrobble your songs. I posted up the Southern Soul mix to test it out, pretty easy uploading and easy way to share what you’re listening to. Either way go listen to my muxtape (and a few others as well) Post up yours in the comments section, let us know what you’re listening to.
