Muxtape.
April 23, 2008
Thanks to Lianna, who sent it to me, gave me a theme idea, and really did everything but pick the songs, I now have a muxtape.
I’m not really sure how, or if, it’s legal, but I’ll make the most out of it before it a) gets taken down, or b) becomes too way too hipster for me. Although it looks like option b is already all too true for some people. Either way, I’m enjoying it for now. It combines everything I love - music, finding new music, mixes (I love mixes), and to quote Los Campesinos!, trying to find the perfect match between pretentious and pop. What could be better? The answer: nothing.

Nice tunes, but…muxtape is not legal by any measure.
muxtape copied the idea from imeem.com, they took it’s hugely popular playlist feature, dropped all the video, photos, social networking and *licenses from record labels* and called it muxtape.
Imeem does everything that muxtape does, but it also has to pay artists for the use of their music, to there’s advertising all over the site.

Eh, that’s what I figured. Still, it’s fun, I’ll probably keep using it until they take it down. Which is pretty much inevitable at this point.
