Art of the Mix
I forget how many mix tapes I must have made in the last ten years or so - I was rooting through some stuff over the weekend and I came across a tape I made about 8 years ago. My god, how sad was I? Think Fat Boy Slim segwaying into something by, and I am so embarrassed to admit this, T’Pau. What was I thinking?
Anyway, last week on Mitch Benn’s Crimes Against Music they covered this very subject - and it seems I’m not alone in being really frightened about my mix tapes coming back to haunt me.
I also came across this little site over the weekend where you can set up virtual mixes that you can share with friends or just about anybody. The site will even print CD labels for you - genius.
A further bit of foraging turned up this, Unheard.org which lists US Public Radio shows that offer something a bit different.
On of the first streams I loaded up was a show called A-Side, B-side which is 90 minutes of mix tapes taken from Art of the Mix. Now be careful as some of mixes, are well, sketchy, but others are really ace - happy listening folks!
