Muxing it up
My friend Steve has been getting into something called muxtapes, and as I was listening to four versions of the Zombies' "This Will Be Our Year" (I really like that song), I thought, "Hey, I should look into this whole muxtape business!" Unfortunately, I quickly realized that it requires uploading MP3s; the trouble with our internet access is that while I can download an hour's worth of music in a few minutes, our upload speed is deadly slow. So I hope you will take the time to listen to my muxtape, because it took, like, 4 hours to upload all the songs. (OK, I'll admit, I wasn't uploading that entire time -- I got distracted watching "What Not To Wear" in the living room.) All you have to do is click on the first title, and it'll play through.

There's not a lot of rhyme or reason to the songs I picked -- I had to put Shearwater and Spoon on there because I'm so obsessed with them right now, but the rest of them are just songs I happened to notice as I was browsing through my iTunes library and thought, "Oh, that's a great song."

It looks like you can only mux 12 songs at a time per username. The page has an RSS feed, so if you subscribe to my feed, you'll presumably be notified if I decide to swap out, say, Kristin Hersh's "Under the Gun" for Beck's "Cellphone's Dead." Considering our sloooow uploading, though, I'm not sure how often I'll be re-muxing.
