the mixtape.

This Is The Type Of Person I Am.
It isn’t any secret that I am a complete sucker for mixtapes…well since technology has found a way to kill everything adorable…the mix CD. There is just something special about someone taking the time to find a bunch of things that other people said, to tell you how they feel about you. The mixtape lets you feel romantic and creative…without actually having to be creative.
But I Digress.
I like making mix CDs…they still feel special because you know…you have to get the music on to your computer and then burn it on to a CD…which is still much less work than the whole “tape recording” thing.
I Have Found The Answer, Brothers And Sisters…
With the inadvertent help of my dear pal Terence, I have discovered 8tracks.com. The concept of 8tracks is that you can make an 8 track [or more] mix, and post it on the site under your profile. You can then embed these little guys all over the internet on various websites in which you have profiles on [I'm looking at you MySpace/Maybe Facebook].
This Site.
Is perfect.
Okay…well maybe not perfect. It has a pretty basic design [sort of like Twitter] and doesn’t offer much as far as social networking goes [unless you want your network to be full of awesome little indie mixtape makers like I do]. It does however, give you the perfect way to make a blog, such as mine, legal as far as music goes.
Sad News…
I’m going to have to stop putting up downloads as often as I do. This will be my new medium for giving you suggestions. I will make a mix and discuss it. I’m sorry…
[I feel like I just lost the last two people that care about this site]
In Closing…
If you love mixtapes…you’ll love 8tracks.com.
